Four diverse travellers are considered for their roles as agenda driven visitors, whilst also tourists. Central to their mission: finding ways to deal with the ruling regime in Burma / Myanmar, which could stymie their own projects, with dire consequences. Their commonality is that all were in Burma / Myanmar not despite the politics, but because of them. Each one of them upholds resistance to the oppressive regime. Yet all know to remain aware of the sensitivity of stating their responses to the dominant forces. Whilst in Myanmar, they must act, speak and write within safe parameters of engagement. That hyper-awareness places them in contrast with the everyday 'innocent' tourist.
