BURMA is the subject of BBC World Fasttrack this week. The BBC's commercially funded international 24-hour news and information channel highlights the work of the human rights organisation The Burma Campaign in publishing a list of companies, many of them from the travel industry, that it considers to be directly or indirectly supporting the military regime of this Asian country. It has reignited the long-running debate about the ethical rights and wrongs of visiting Burma and reviews the arguments and asks why certain travel firms have been identified in the list. The programme goes out on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. For those who can take BBC World a visit to the website is a necessity in order to find out the timings.
