This report presents the findings, lessons, and recommendations of an independent assessment of Asian Development Bank (ADB) assistance to the tourism sector in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS), comprising Cambodia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), Myanmar, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Yunnan Province in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Thailand, and Viet Nam. The report evaluates the performance of ADB assistance during 1992–2007, but emphasizes activities and developments since 1999.
While the evaluation attempts to cover all the GMS countries, difficulty in obtaining tourism data and related information have limited coverage of Myanmar, and in some cases, Guangxi
Zhuang Autonomous Region and Yunnan Province of the PRC.
