Security police set up barbed wire to prevent protesters from entering the city centre, in Yangon September 28, 2007. Last month's pro-democracy protests in Myanmar and the military junta's ruthless and bloody crackdown have hit tourism hard, with some hotels slashing prices by 80 percent to try to attract visitors, industry insiders said.
