Siem Reap, Guiyang charter flights

Charter flights between Siem Reap and

a

China’s Guiyang city are to run three times a week from the end of this month, in a move expected to attract thousands more Chinese tourists to the country.

The flights are being organised by the Khmer First Investment Holding Group, Meijia Global Travel Services, Gui Zhou International Travel, and Angkor Sky.

A Ministry of Tourism statement said the flights will run on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

“The charter flights hope to bring more than 30,000 Chinese tourists from China’s Guizhou province to Cambodia each year. This is a contribution to the strategic plan to attract two million Chinese tourists by 2020, as well as reinforcing the sister city partnership between Siem Reap and Guizhou, which was signed in June 2017,” the statement said.

Thourn Sinan, chairman of the Cambodia Chapter of the Pacific Asia Travel Association, said the country must do more to cater to increasing numbers of Chinese tourists.
