Phu Quoc Island tour set to boost tourism to Cambodia


Monday, 30 March 2009

Cambodian Ministry of Tourism Thong Khon (pictured) has announced plans to open a new tour that links Cambodia’s four coastal provinces with Phu Quoc Island of Vietnam.

Mr Khon said he hoped that the new tour connecting Phu Quoc Island with the provinces of Koh Kong, Kongpong Som, Kampot and Posat, would boost tourism to Cambodia.

The minister said that Phu Quoc Island has emerged as an attractive destination for tourists in the region and according to some forecasts; it has the potential to draw around 3 million visitors annually by 2012.

Mr Khon added that Vietnam’s tourism sector has attracted a growing number of foreign visitors thanks to its increased amount of investment in tourism facilities and traffic infrastructure.
