Cambodian Leader Tours Siem Reap Shops – Tourism Boost Efforts Continue

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet made a surprise visit to Siem Reap’s Pub Street in July, highlighting the government’s commitment to boosting the tourism industry. The visit aimed to showcase the vibrant local economy and encourage tourists to explore the city’s diverse offerings, while gathering feedback and valuable insight from both patrons and shop owners.

Siem Reap, renowned for its ancient temples and the world-famous Angkor Wat Park, is a major tourist destination in Cambodia. The best hotels in Siem Reap have already taken advantage of their proximity to this popular UNESCO Heritage site, with guided excursions and tours, including international chains like Minor Hotels at their Anantara Angkor Resort property.

The Prime Minister’s visit serves as a powerful endorsement of the city’s appeal and underscores the government’s efforts to revitalise the tourism sector following the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
