Measures to strengthen the legal and regulatory environment for tourism will emphasize creation of
an environment that enables growth and investment in responsible tourism. To generate funds for
responsible tourism management at the destination level, GOM will strengthen systems to collect
and manage tourist user fees and taxes. To accelerate the expansion of local employment, GOM will
streamline licensing procedures for tour guides, accommodations, restaurants, and other tourismrelated
enterprises, thus promoting greater entrepreneurial activity. GOM will also initiate a review of
the Tourism Law to address legal and regulatory concerns (e.g., tourism-related investment projects,
domestic tourism, outbound travel for citizens of Myanmar, gaming, and labor). Finally, GOM will
develop safeguards that are consistent with international labor standards and demonstrate sensitivity
to the needs of women and people with disabilities.
