“The human desire to travel and explore is universal, which is why tourism must be open for everyone to enjoy. So too must the many social and economic benefits that tourism brings be available to everybody”, UNWTO Secretary-general quoted as saying.

After months of strict travel restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Cambodia is gearing up for a return to normalcy by easing some travel restrictions and quarantine requirements and allowing investors, businessmen, tourists to enter the country. The government has introduced Sandbox at the coastal south – “Sihanouk Ville, Koh Rong and Dara Sarkor in Koh Kong”, allowing fully vaccinated travelers to enter the country without quarantine.

It is a new opportunity for the revival of our destinations, with a view to the prosperity of our valued populations and industry itself. Before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Cambodia’s tourism industry had demonstrated, through its transversality and job-creation capacity, that it was a powerful lever to fight against poverty and to promote the social and economic inclusion of vulnerable groups of people. This is the precisely the meaning and essence of the inclusive nature of Tourism.

“We all know the power and potential of tourism to advance prosperity and drive inclusive, sustainable development. The tourism sector touches almost every part of our economy and society, enabling historically marginalized people and those at risk of being left behind to benefit from development that is locals and direct community.”

Tourism not only enables us to expand our horizons, appreciate mother nature and connect with people from “all walks of life”. It also enhances the socio-economic growth and job creation, income generation and the development of country’s infrastructure-chain. We are very grateful that through the best effort the government has taken to fight the COVID19, the vaccination strategy that brought high numbers of herd immunity within our population, make us safe, “Cambodia safe”, and we are able to restart and promote our destination.

Tourism is one of the most attractive benefits among the country’s backbone industries with its high ability to foster a sense of cultural exchange between foreigners and locals. Tourism plays a magnificent role in show-casing the country’s culture, heritage and pride of the people.
