In this spirit, Cambodia introduces the post-COVID-19 Recovery Plan for ASEAN Tourism, and the Phnom Penh Declaration on a More Sustainable, Inclusive and Resilient ASEAN Tourism, among others, the PM added.
Hun Sen said he appreciated international delegates’ participation in the forum, although it took a long time to travel and do immigration procedures due to the epidemic.
He said over the past two years, the COVID-19 crisis has had a great socio-economic impact, especially on the tourism sector, causing the number of tourists to each country in the region to decrease sharply.
“Clearly, the tourism sector will face new trends in the needs to develop digital socio-economy, tackle climate change and deepen the consideration for global public health,” Hun Sen said as quoted by the site./.
