Cambodian Tourist Officials Looking To Extend Offerings
January 23, 2007 – 1:31 pm
Cambodian tourist officials feel they have some attractions to offer tourists, but they are not enough in an increasingly tough world market. Cambodia needs the money that the tourism industry has been providing, and for that reason, tourism officials have embarked on ways to attract more visitors to the nation.
The country’s tourism sector has been developing rapidly in the past few years, becoming a major source of income for the cash-strapped Southeast Asian country. About 1.7 million tourists visited Cambodia last year, roughly a 20 percent increase over 2005.
The tourism experts have discovered that most people come to Cambodia, see the famous Angkor Wat temple, and leave, without ever buying any souvenirs or spending more money in the local economy. The booklet this group of professionals has created intends to increase the amount of people visiting Cambodia, and increasing the amount of money they spend when they visit.
