European tourists flock to Wa Ale Resort in Lampi Marine National Park annually

The European tourists yearly flock to Wa Ale Resort, located in Lampi Marine National Park, just about 60 nautical miles from Kawthoung, the southernmost part of Myanmar.
The Wa Ale Resort covers 100.15 acres of land in Lampi Marine National Park. Being the only marine national park in Myanmar, European tourists mostly visit there as it also offers varieties of botanical, biological, and marine-related amphibians, a fine natural environment, canoeing around the resort, a clean and unspoiled beach, the chance to study the living style of Salon people and nature-based trips.
“There is a travel company that rents our forest areas of Lampi Island. Now, foreign tourists visit the resort called Wa Ale Resort. They mostly prefer canoeing and watching the amphibians and birds in the sunset. They also like windsurfing and enjoying the coral reefs. Lampi Island is the very first marine national park of the country and also an ASEAN Heritage Park. We are very proud that we can earn income for the country via the green economy. We also want to urge the public to cooperate with the relevant departments to conserve the sustainability of the marine national park,” said U Kyi Oo, warden of the park.
Similarly, the visitors can enjoy the fullness of the beauty of the ocean from the front and back sides of the Wa Ale Resort, as well as the sunrise and sunset views. Therefore, the place is still hosting visitors by the end of December. The Lampi Island is 30 miles in length and its width is seven miles. The island boasts varieties of biodiversity, 288 species of water birds and resident birds, and is home to Hornbills and common bottlenose dolphin or Atlantic bottlenose dolphin.
In the 2024 travel season, domestic and foreign travellers visit snow-capped mountains and hilly regions in the northern part of Myanmar, Bagan, and famous destinations in the middle part, ancient buildings of Yangon and Myeik Archipelago of Kawthoung District. Local and foreign visitors mainly visit King Island or Marcus Island, Thameehla Island, Prince Island, and Wa Ale Resort in the southernmost part of Myanmar during this season to ease the urban stress.
