Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam develop joint tourism initiative |
Tourism officials from Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam met in
Cambodia’s Sihanoukvile last week to engineer ways to boost
the development of tourism in the three countries’ common
coastal areas.
Cambodia’s Secretary of State for Tourism Thong Khon said
after the meeting that participants have agreed upon measures to
strengthen cooperation among the three countries in order to turn
their common sea area into an attractive tourism destination.
The meeting was held on August 24 under the sponsorship of the
Asian Development Bank (ADB) at the initiation of Cambodian
authorities.
High on the agenda of the meeting were discussions on the training
of human resources for sea tourism, linkage tours between tourism
destinations in the three countries as well as the exchange of
experiences and tour operation management in the tourism sector.
The second meeting of its kind is scheduled to take place in
Thailand in 2008.
