Description

The transition from military dictatorship to civilian-led government in Myanmar had led to a tourism boom, with tourists being attracted to the untouched nature of the country. This had resulted in the creation of tourism frontiers, which had dispossessed local residents through enclosure, commodification, and extraction. As Myanmar struggled against the military coup, the study suggested that without revaluation of the untouched, new frontiers for dispossessive development would be created as global tourism moved past the COVID-19 pandemic.
