Private Sector Networking To Connect Tourism
Taing Sochet Kresna, the Provincial Department of Tourism director, emphasized the importance of the fair, noting that despite the province’s abundant natural resources such as beautiful beaches and other attractions, there is a need for additional infrastructure and high-quality services to encourage visitors to prolong their stay.

These discussions focused on promoting tourism investment within the Cambodia-Vietnam-Thailand economic corridor, aiming to strengthen cooperation and foster development.
Overall, the Tourism and Trade Fair in Preah Sihanouk was deemed a resounding success, not only in attracting tourists and investors but also in fostering collaboration and advancing the province’s tourism sector.
