On Friday 19 December, the Council of ministers adopted a new draft law on tourism which has three goals: quality, efficiency and lasting development.

The draft law, which contains 12 points and 76 chapters, was presented by the minister of Tourism and it should resolve some of the contradicting issues, such as attracting more tourists and foreign funds while preserving natural, cultural and traditional Cambodian resources. The emphasis is placed on the improvement of the welcoming quality, an issue that Cambodia still has a lot to improve on. According to the government, the draft law should also contribute to the reduction of poverty.

In 2007, Cambodia attracted 2 million tourists and brought in more than $1 billion in revenue. The government hopes to strengthen this crucial sector that is currently being threatened by the worldwide economic crisis.
