Siem Reap (FN), Nov. 16 – Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet anticipated an increase in Chinese tourist visits to Cambodia in 2024, coinciding with the designated year for people-to-people exchanges between the two countries.

The premier spoke on Thursday (Nov. 16) during an inauguration for the official launch of Siem Reap Angkor International Airport in Siem Reap province.

At the same time, Samdech Thipadei underlined that as the host country, Cambodia must establish facilitating policies and streamlined mechanisms for the efficient implementation of initiatives. He underscored the urgency of promptly forming a tourism council to serve as an organizing body, responsible for developing an action plan, leading and implementing all facilitation aspects.
