From 1993 till now, Cambodia has attracted 1.4 million of Japanese Tourist which is one percent of Japanese total population; hence, this figure is still small. However Cambodia via the Ministry of Tourism and related development agency and relevant stakeholders are putting much effort to overcome such a big challenge.
Japanese Travelers travel around 17 Million over the world while 2.8 million visited ASEAN region in 2010. Cambodia can attract a small proportion of these other countries. Angkor Wat has been a popular destination serving Japanese tourist in Cambodia. Japanese tourists have a large contribution of spending in tourism sector.
Attracting Japanese tourist, The Ministry of Tourism has been working hard to diversify products. Therefore, not only cultural tourism we try to promote coastal tourism and ecotourism. As Cambodia Bay was integrated to the world most beautiful beach which represents the world class beach since 21st -23rd Jan in French, we highly recommended for coastal tourism beside cultural tourism which is very famous for heritage site.
In addition to facilities and services we have to serves Japanese Tourist, Cambodia try to develop hotel, eco-lodges, golf courses, airport, harbor, convention centre, professional tourism and training schools in emerging destinations in Cambodia.
For sure that connectivity and transportation are key player for tourism flow but the two countries will have direct flight at the end of this year by ANA, according to H.E. Hor Monirath- Ambassador of Kingdom of Cambodia to Japan; this would help accelerate Japanese tourist to Cambodia while this upcoming connecting flight will provide low -cost carrier services.
