Tourism is a priority of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar’s development policy,and is the fastest growing sector of the country’s economy. Myanmar, blessed with a rich diversity of natural, cultural, and historical tourism assets, is laying the foundation for decades of tourism growth to generate foreign exchange earnings and employment throughout the country. While its tourism products are currently centered around its cultural and urban assets, the Union Government is in the process of opening its vast wealth of globally unique ecosystems to growing numbers of domestic and international visitors. This process is part of the government’s goal to develop a green economy.
