NGWE HSAUNG
I would like to introduce the newest beach destination in Myanmar. Among
all the beautiful beaches in Myanmar, it is the newest beach and that
name was Ngwe Hsaung." Ngwe "means" Silver "so it can be called Silvery
beach. It is situated about 30 miles from Pathein, the capital city of
Ayeyarwaddy Divisian where the traditianal umbrella and clay pot painting
workshops are located.

There are some self-evident economic social benefits from tourism employment. The possible benefits from the beach are increase in income local people by selling their local products such as dried fish and fish paste and goods ornamented with sea mulluse and oyster shells. But also it can increase in foreign exchange earnings and improve in economy by investing. Many improvements can be seen in there such as improvement in road and infrastructure and social services |

On the other hand, there has also been a negative impact on the beach.
Environment damaged caused by constructing new buildings and roads.
Tourism seems to be a big earner of foreign currency but the effective
economic gains by the local nations are usually rather less than might be
expected. Valuable foreign exchange is lost by importing foreign goods and
other luxury goods. Inflation in prices can be occurred in local
communities.
- Starting from local tourism boom followed by expatriates and diplomats. - Target markets become gradually high potential in international market. - Government drive to promote Ngwe Hsaung not only one of the successful tourist destination but also encourage the private sector by running luxury river cruises named Delta Queen. - International standard hotels are already built in Ngwe Hsaung. - Un spoilt beach, underwater creature, elephant camp nearby and Padaung Village make Ngwe Hsaung a unique destination with unlimited potentials for tourism development. Weakness - Infrastructure remains a major constraint for rapid destination development. - Government should provide basic infrastructure i.e; bridges, roads, water supply, telecommunications. - Besides accommodations still limited as the hotels are under construction. - There is few entertainments activities rather than any other beaches. - Market demand is still low due to low publicities.
- Skill labour
shortage. - There are investment opportunities (hotels, resorts) in these areas for interested investors. - Tourists can enjoy strolling along, the un spoilt beach, cycling, riding bullock carts, fishing, scuba diving, etc.
- Creating
employment opportunities especially for local people and upgrading the
small, locally own business. - There is still a low awareness of Ngwe Hsaung is a beach destination and above is the bad publicity and poor image created by some unfriendly media. - Another threat is being situated similar beaches like Chaungtha and Ngapali nearby.

Ngwe Hsaung beach is not only pleasant but also full of many beauties on
its shore. Especially, a large number of coconut palms can be seen at the beach Hermit crabs and red crabs may be seen moving slowly and looking
towards the sea. There were forests and wildlife conservation programmes
in Ngwe Hsaung. Rare birds such as silver - head falcon, eagle and falcon
plus rare species of aquatic creatures can be found in Ngwe Hsaung region.
On the way to Ngwe Hsaung, there is an Elephant Camp in un spoilt
jungle. The beauty at the rocks in Ngwe Hsaung can be found on lover's
Island to which one can reach walking along the beach. A beautiful sunset
of the Bay of Bengal can be viewed from the Lover's Island. There is also
a pagoda named. Kyauk Maumghnama (brother and sister rocks). There are
also another two Hsutaungpyi pagodas on two rocks sticking out. into the
sea.
