Chinese tourists may be first in Cambodia when tourism reopens

[geovalin]

CHINESE tourists may be the first foreign visitors to return Cambodia as the government prepares to reopen the tourism sector. Prime Minister Hun Sen indicated this last week, saying the country could open its doors to international holidaymakers vaccinated against Covid-19 – starting with guests from China.

 

The Phnom Penh Post reports him saying that he was keen to allow all businesses to reopen soon if the Covid-19 situation shows significant signs of improvement.

 

"No one wants to see closures like this, our people want to go out. I first want to reopen the education sector, followed by the service industry … [including] domestic tourism – our people want to travel on Saturday, Sunday and public holidays," he said, indicating that international tourism would follow soon after. However, he stopped short of abolishing quarantine requirements, at least in the near term.

China’s heavy handed approach to foreign relations seems to work in Cambodia.  Hope it never goes this far in Thailand.
