Presentation of Inception Report at
ASEAN Tourism Committee Meeting

This project embarks on a strategic endeavor to establish a development roadmap for each of the designated pilot ASEAN Tourism Corridors and Clusters. These corridors represent a springboard for future expansion, with the potential to develop additional corridors based on the success of this initial initiative.The development of these corridors and clusters fosters a dynamic and multifaceted approach to ASEAN tourism.

AIMS

By strategically concentrating tourism assets and infrastructure, this project aims to achieve economies of scale, optimizing resource allocation and maximizing the impact on the regional tourism industry. The ultimate vision is to revitalize ASEAN tourism through a comprehensive strategy that integrates multimodal transportation corridors and fosters regional collaboration.

BENEFITS

This collaborative effort will encompass both public and private sectors within ASEAN member states, harnessing a collective vision to propel the region's tourism industry to new heights.Shared prosperity in tourism offers economic benefits, such as job creation and revenue growth, while fostering sociocultural benefits like cross-cultural exchange and heritage preservation. Importantly, it empowers local communities by directly involving them in tourism initiatives and its resulting economic advantages.

OUTCOMES

The goal of shared prosperity in tourism is to see a significant increase in tourist numbers and revenue, alongside widespread economic empowerment – particularly in less developed areas. This approach should prioritize environmental sustainability through responsible tourism practices, while also aiming to empower communities and improve their overall well-being through active participation in the tourism sector.
