Cambodia to boost tourism with direct flights


Here are some good news for travelers going to Cambodia:


Cambodia will seek to increase direct flights from China and the EU nations in its efforts to boost its booming tourism industry, which is a mainstay of Cambodia’s economy.


The country announced a 17 percent increase in tourist arrivals to about 400,000 during the first two months of this year. The EU, one of Cambodia’s target markets, is under tapped due to a lack of direct flights. Currently there are direct charter flights from Finland and Italy. However Cambodia would like to see growth from these markets to reach 60 percent of its tourist arrivals by air and to do that the Kingdom has to put itself on the map.
