Promoting BIMP-EAGA as a single destination with world-class ecotourism facilities and services will increase the viability of air, sea, and land linkages in the subregion.
BIMP-EAGA envisions a single ICT-enabled community with world-class connectivity and infrastructure, skilled professionals, and an environment that encourages technological innovations. Developing the information and communication technology (ICT) sector can help reduce poverty, raise productivity, and spur economic growth,
Cooperation in customs, immigration, quarantine, and security (CIQS) is integral to BIMP-EAGA’s goal of becoming a unified production hub that is deeply integrated into the regional and global economy. Over the years, the subregion has made progress in streamlining CIQS rules, regulations, and procedures to boost the efficiency of its trading systems. At the same time, the subregional cooperation program has sought to strike a balance between easing the cross-border flow of goods and people and augmenting border control measures.
Establishing BIMP-EAGA as a food basket in ASEAN and the rest of Asia entails integrating the agro-industry and fisheries sectors and developing supply and value chains throughout the subregion.
Roads connect more remote areas to commercial hubs
Enhancing connectivity will make it easier and faster to travel within and outside BIMP-EAGA, improve the flow of goods and services, create a conducive business climate, and raise the quality of life of local communities.
BIMP-EAGA needs reliable, affordable, and sustainable sources of energy. The subregion has abundant energy resources, but many areas have limited or no access to electricity.
