GMS Tourism Sector Strategy 2005-2015

Prioritization of projects
On the request of the Tourism Working group the MTCO classified the 29 projects three categories; short term (2008-2010), midterm (2008-2012) and long term projects (2010-2015) and proposed an Action Plan for short term and mid term projects.

Success
Ensuring sustainability and developing high yield quality tourism will be the key challenge of the GMS in the next 10 years. This action plan is looking at securing the first foundations of the GMS TS that will allow the GMS countries to optimize the benefits from tourism for its human and economic development while preserving the cultural and natural assets which are its main capital for the long term.

This action plan will be enforced only with:

Strong leadership from lead countries on each projects

Strong commitment and collaborative effort from GMS countries in liaison with the MTCO

Financial and technical support from the countries themselves and from development partners.
