HCMC
– Cambodian Minister of Tourism Thong Khon asserted on Wednesday that Vietnam
is the largest visitor-generating market for his country’s tourism industry,
and the country is seeking to attract more tourists from Vietnam.
The minister said at the launch of the
Cambodian Night held at the five-star Rex Hotel on Wednesday that Cambodia
welcomed 470,000 visitors from Vietnam last year, and the figure is expected to
rise to 550,000 this year.
The Cambodian Night was held by the Cambodian
Ministry of Tourism as part of the 7th International Travel Expo (ITE) HCMC
2011, aiming at introducing its culture and tourism to Vietnamese customers.
Cambodian Night attracted 500 representatives
from travel agencies and hundreds of international buyers worldwide who took
part in the travel event.
The Cambodian dignitary also said 24 Cambodian
tourism companies were taking part in this year’s ITE, almost triple the number
from the similar event last year.
“We will expand our promotion activities in an
effort to bring you all the information you need about Cambodia,” Thong Khon
said.
The ministry will also organize an art show in
HCMC Opera House with the participation of hundreds of Cambodian artists on
Thursday’s evening. The show is free to all guests.
At the ITE, Cambodian enterprises also set up
their own stall next to their country’s common pavilion.
Particularly, NagaWorld Hotel and Entertainment
Complex in the Cambodian capital city of Phnom Penh invited celebrities to
attract visitors and offer special tourism programs for Vietnamese customers at
its large stall.
