The Myeik Public Corporation (MPC) is planning to invest US$ 4 million in the development of a resort hotel on Kadan Island in the Myeik Archipelago. The new project will begin in March next year with many tourists expected to arrive in the region from Maw Daung, the border station with Thailand, in Thanintharyi Region, a trading point that is expected to become fully operational next year.

Earlier this year, MPC was looking at four new tourism projects,Khuntee, Eastern Sula, Langan and Tanintharyi, but has shifted its priorities to Kadan because of the opportunities on offer there.
