Cambodia drafts three-stage recovery plan for tourism

Phnom Penh (VNA) – The Cambodian Ministry of
Tourism on December 26 convened a meeting among technical working groups to
prepare for the implementation of a 2020-2025 roadmap on the restoration and
enhancement of the sector during and after the COVID-19 crisis.
The draft of the roadmap is divided into three stages
including crisis management in the New Normal and tourism resilience and
restart for 2020-2021, post-pandemic recovery for 2022-2023, and preparation
for tourism rebound for 2024-2025.
The draft has been endorsed by the country’s National
Committee on Tourism Development, and has been supported by concerned ministries
and institutions.
According to the ministry, between January and October this
year, the number of international arrivals to Cambodia decreased unprecedentedly
by 76.1 percent compared to the same period last year, from over five million
to just above 1 million./.
