Overview

Southeast Asia has traditionally been a popular destination because of its diverse tourist attractions, good travel connections and compartively-low prices. Besides beaches and friendly people, there are plenty of cultural tourist attractions across Southeast Asia, including Unesco World Heritage sites and museums. Tourism is a major industry in Southeast Asia, and the effects of Covid-19 is particularly hard in the region where tourism accounts for roughly 10% of total GDP. As tourism picks up again, sustainable tourism and the proper management of archaeological sites remain a concern, as does instances of tourists behaving badly at cultural sites.

The news reports indexed below usually link to external sites that were active at the time of posting; sometimes websites may be temporarily down or may have reorganised their underlying architecture or have even closed down – in these cases the links may not be available. Most of the news articles archived are in English, although when I am made aware of stories in this and other languages I try to index them.
