It will boost trade in services by promoting cross-border tourism and deepen GMS and Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) regional cooperation and integration. About 168,000 residents are expected to benefit from climate-resilient infrastructure development, improved urban greenspace, cleaner beaches, and better access to economic opportunities.
