Sihanoukville

In a bid to increase tourist arrivals and promote Sihanoukville as a beach destination, Cambodia Airports, the private company that manages the Kingdom’s three international airports, announced yesterday that it will provide monetary incentives to airlines that bring in foreign visitors to the coastal city.

Speaking at the Sihanoukville Showcase 2015, Patrine Tay, marketing and sales director at Cambodia Airports, said that starting next year airlines will be given $10 per foreign passenger, up to a maximum of $1,000 per flight, as an incentive to direct tourists to Sihanoukville.

“There is [tourism] potential in Sihanoukville, but operators don’t know much about the destination and they may think there is a lot of risk bringing passengers here,” she added “So, we decided to help share a bit of that risk by providing them with this incentive.”
