STRAND HOTELS INTERNATIONAL, the British Virgin Island incorporated company, which is renovating the Strand Hotel, the Inya Lake Hotel and the Thamada
GENERAL HOTELS MANAGEMENT LTD formed in 1992, by Adriaan Zecha and others was to manage the 3 hotels being renovated in Rangoon by Strand Hotels International (Hong Kong). However, it was reported in Jan.93 that Zecha's other partners wanted to give the management contract to a company controlled by Hong Kong's New World Group
PIONEER INDUSTRIES Chairman and Managing Director Anthony Gaw is a Burma-born American businessman who bought Strand Hotels International shares from J F Asia Select in 1992, to block the management contract for the 3 hotels in Rangoon going to Zecha
seem to recall mention here of aman managing at some point after strand opened in 1993 before GHM took over in 1999
