TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

SST Tourism Co Ltd
69, Myaynigone Zay Street
Sanchaung T/S
Yangon 111
Myanmar

U Tay Za of SST Tourism Co Ltd has asked me to provide a reference for the Company, and this I gladly agree to undertake.

I have known U Tay Za and SST Tourism for several years and it has been a real pleasure working with them. Always very responsive to my requests for information and itineraries, I have found their replies reflect a thorough knowledge of their country and very good judgement of what is physically possible for tour groups. In particular I would say that SST has a very responsible attitude concerning the comfort, safety and general well-being of travel clients, and would never propose a programme that is not well thought through. They arranged for me and a colleague to explore several Burmese locations visited by an early last century Irish resident, and climb Mt Victoria. The following year we were able to bring a first tour group to Mt Victoria, an outstandingly successful tour thanks to SST's first class arrangements and forward planning. Not only is SST very able to organise expedition-type travel, they are also very well able to arrange selective accommodation and itineraries for the discriminating traveller.

As I hope can be seen from the above, I have no hesitation recommending the travel services of SST Tourism.
