Cambodia Fully Supports Initiatives to Reopen Tourism within ASEAN

Cambodia fully supports the initiatives to reopen tourism within ASEAN as well as to reopen the whole region to welcome international tourists, prime minister Hun Sen spoke at the opening ceremony of the 40th ASEAN Tourism Forum 2022 in Sihanoukville province on Tuesday.

“On behalf of Cambodia and as the rotating chair of ASEAN, I would like to support the ASEAN tourism ministers to discuss and agree to announce the reopening of ASEAN Tourism tomorrow from Sihanoukville of Cambodia,” the premier underlined.

“At the same time, for the sake of success in the reopening of international tourism, it is necessary to ensure the credibility and confidence that [ASEAN Tourist Destinations are safe], supported by vaccination rates as a key indicator,” the premier added.

Cambodia highly appreciates ASEAN tourism ministers for strengthening cooperation and exchanging experiences in responding to the COVID19 crisis and introducing the post-COVID19 Recovery Plan for ASEAN Tourism, Phnom Penh Declaration on a More Sustainable, Inclusive and Resilient ASEAN Tourism, as well as other strategic plans, work programs and guidelines of ASEAN in line with the ASEAN Comprehensive Recovery Framework (ACRF).
