This dataset includes raw and analytical files generated during research for the PhD thesis, '"Untouched" Myanmar: An Ethnography of a Tourism Frontier'. The dataset includes interview recordings, interview transcripts, metadata files, images used within the thesis manuscript, research ethics approval documents, and questions asked of interview participants.

The thesis project investigates the discourse of contemporary tourism. In addition to sociolinguistic and literary analysis, the project used a linguistic-ethnographic approach to analyze discourse. Tourists were recruited for interviews during participant observation and asked questions from the listed set in an unstructured format.
