Partnership with ports located in Myanmar, including Dawei will make Indian ports in the eastern seaboard,
key gateways for connectivity with ASEAN countries.
While Dawei's days as a beautiful backwater may be numbered, for

Foreign travellers were restricted to flying in and out of the three main cities(Dawei, Myeik and Kawthoung),
and day trips to places like San Hlan were impossible unless you were in possession of a sheaf of permits from Yangon or Naypyidaw.
