In 2012, after decades of political isolation, Myanmar began a political transformation. Having been subjected to more than 15 years of boycotts, the country is now a “must-see” destination. In terms of visitor arrivals, its growth is expected to be at least 50% per year. Consequently, tourism has been identified as a priority sector in the government’s ‘export strategy.’ (Ministry of Hotels and Tourism, 2013) Tourism has the potential to contribute significantly to the future of Myanmar by creating jobs and growing the economy. Although increased tourism can also have negative consequences, significant multi-stakeholder discussions concerning the development of responsible tourism have led to two encouraging policy statements: the “Policy on Responsible Tourism” and the “Policy of Community Involvement in Tourism.” In order to implement the aims outlined in these statements, especially in the private sector, enhanced due diligence is needed to determine the possible impact of businesses activities on this country’s society and environment. Such attention includes making ‘corporate social responsibility’ (CSR) practices a part of core businesses in the tourism sector.
