2. The SAPE coverage does not include Myanmar due to lack of access to relevant tourism
sector data and the absence of ADB assistance. Even though the PRC occupies an important
position in the GMS program, only one province (Yunnan) and one autonomous region (GZAR)2
actually participate in the GMS program. Although the SAPE attempted to include analysis of
Yunnan Province and GZAR tourism sector developments, this was constrained by difficulty in
obtaining provincial and regional tourism data.
