Tourism Development in a New Democracy: Residents’ Perceptions of Community-based Tourism in Mawlamyine, Myanmar
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The concept of community-based tourism (CBT) is not new, and definitions of CBT have proliferated in the years since Murphy (1985) expounded on the community involvement approach in tourism development. This study examined residents’ perceptions of CBT in Mawlamyine as a conduit for sustainable tourism amidst a climate of rapid economic and social change. Using a grounded theory approach, analysis of data collected from 14 semi-structured interviews with local residents and foreign tourists revealed that Mawlamyine’s tourism potential lies in its untouched natural resources and cultural heritage, yet is hindered by a lack of essential infrastructure and services. The city’s proximity to Mount Kyaitko, a popular tourist site, and Yangon, a major transit hub, has the potential to create strong market access to CBT projects. However, local residents cite the obscure governmental policies for obtaining permission to begin a CBT project as a major barrier.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
