Community tourism begins to pay in Magwe
Community-based tourism is finally paying off in rural Magwe Region, says a local NGO official. A four-year project in Myaing township has hosted its first tourists, according to U Aung Min Naing, regional manager of ActionAid Myanmar.
ActionAid launched the project in 2012 in the Inn Yaung village tract, which covers Inn Yaung, Suli Pan, and East and West Kangyi Taw villages, where about 1000 people live in 180 households.
