5 Phenomena of Tour Operator

Phenomenon 1

“Hello, my son!! Yes, this is your father calling from a big five star hotel near Nay Pyi Taw. Hello, my son do you hear me? Yes, I’m now having dinner at a five star hotel newly open. I’m provided the dinner here in a Varity of selection (actually very limited as I looked at), very good hotel my son. Listen, switch on the Television Myanma Ahthan (MRTV), this evening news, your daddy will appear on TV. OK, my son! Pls watch it without fail”

He’s is actually the one out of Tom, Dick and Harry in Myanmar travel agencies. I feel like I’m placed wrongly. Or I’m almost ready to move another career for my future.

That’s what I heard at the very table I’m sitting. Gosh, I’m not well settled enough in this tourism industry to know this kind of person exist. But look, he found an agency 3 years ago and he like the hyper mode of social activities. He must have enjoyed here a lot thus he reinvest his money from other business to this tour operation agency. He’s the man I always see on almost every activity in Myanmar tourism.

Phenomenon 2

“Eat, eat” Cried the boss to his hosted potential tour coordinator in a decent restaurant. His little manager tried so hard to bridge his boss and the tour leader; making jokes and signaling to his boss at the same time with repeated “English word”; “Isn’t it, boss? Blinking an eye, boss understood that he must laugh anyway. Dinner is over. Deal is done. Of course the company is to thrive. But the manager reminded his boss.

“Next time when you host a meal to a guest like this, please use “h-a-v-e” or “e-n-j-o-y y-o-u-r m-e-a-l.” In lieu of, Short impolite (informal) word “EAT, EAT.”

Phenomenon 3

“I found this company as I have a burning desire to see Myanmar tourism in full prosperity.” It was stated in a well-known local journal of an interview with a so-young tour operator who found a very new travel agency *(with no background of tourism). This young gentle man is nobody but Managing Director of the company. And make a press about it in a 5 star hotel inviting local media; most of them just don’t know of “tourism”. I guess if he ever wishes to see Myanmar tourism in prosperity “Don’t found an agency, but an NGO fundraising for infrastructures and activities.” But I guess he got what he wanted. As he need to be a MD. Yes, I guess so.

Phenomenon 4

Well, this guy is however “technology oriented” person who knows “internet is the only mean to his potentials.” instructing to a web-designer, “Look your design back, I said I need “the green color” don’t mix it with any colors”. The Web-designer is busy with color wheel searching similar green on green; think, light and dark on all Frame, Template, and banner. You know what my friend, “it was advised by an astrologer.” Oops!!
