| Summary: | Key findings from this study indicate that individuals of all ages, occupations
and ethnic groups from the Ngwe Saung community experienced a positive
increase in sustainable livelihood through increased job opportunity and
additional income. Livelihood improvements directly impacted human rights
to education, health, hygiene, electricity, transportation, freedom of
information and religious opportunity. Results show that tourism
development reduced poverty significantly, elevating participants from
extreme poverty to a level well above subsistence, unattainable without the
jobs and income that tourism generated. |
