In cooperation with Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSF) and the Myanmar Centre for Responsible Business (MCRB) co-organised in May 2016 a two day multistakeholder workshop in Ngapali on ‘Responsible tourism in Ngapali and other beach destinations in Myanmar’. MRTI assisted in the facilitation of the workshop and presented experiences and lessons learnt from other beach destinations in the region.
The multistakeholder meeting offered the chance to discuss the positive and negative impacts of tourism on livelihoods, including for land-based and fishing communities, and on the coastal environment (including waste, water, sand and biodiversity); and learn from lessons from neighbouring countries and coastal tourism experts.
