Cambodge Soir Hebdo
Translated from French by Luc Sâr
2007 has registered a spectacular growth in the number of visitors to Cambodia. The government is congratulating itself for the improvements of the welcoming conditions for tourists in the kingdom.
Thong Khon, the minister of tourism, just announced that, in 2007, two million of tourists visited Cambodia. A spectacular number which Thong Khon hopes to see it increasing by 20 to 25% in 2008. This success would have been made possible by the reinforcement of security, airline links which have been clearly improved, and the construction of new hotels. Like the previous years, the bulk of tourists came from South Korea, followed by Japan, China and the USA.
The celebration of the New Year also contributed a lot. Thog Khon judged them to be very successful this year, especially in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville, where, Say Hak, the Sihanoukville governor, claimed that the 3,000 available hotel rooms were not sufficient to accommodate everyone. In Phnom Penh, the concert organized by the city hall and the Cambodiana Hotel was a hit. Three thousands people came to watch it at Wat Phnom park.
