Ministry launches tourism app

The Ministry of Tourism yesterday launched a mobile application that gives tourists quick access to information about Cambodia.

Called ‘Kingdom of Wonder’, the application was presented to the public with much fanfare at Sokha Siem Reap Resort and Convention Centre.

The event, which also featured the seminar ‘Cambodia Tourism Destination Promotion through Digital System’, was presided over by Tourism Minister Thong Khon and attended by ministry officials and private sector representatives.

The app puts at users’ fingertips all the information about Cambodia they need to know to prepare their visit, including history, language, climate, religion and population.

There is also a news section as well as information on the top tourism destinations, domestic events and festivals, accommodation, restaurants, transportation options, money exchange, embassies, and flights.

According to the ministry, the app takes away the hassle of browsing through different websites to get all the information you need about Cambodia. It is available for Android and iOS.
