Tuesday, May 28, 2019

On Tuesday in a bid to improve the quality and capacity for Chinese-speaking tour guides, Cambodia provided a Chinese language training course for 120 Chinese tour guide teachers.

It was co-organized by Cambodia’s Ministry of Tourism, the ASEAN-China Center, and Yunnan College of Tourism Vocation.

The three-day course was held in northwestern Siem Reap province by Cambodian Tourism Ministry Secretary of State Pak Sokhom and ASEAN-China Center’s Secretary-General Chen Dehai.

Sokhom stated that the course was held timely and in line with the ministry’s human resource development plan for the tourism industry.

To strengthen the capacity of Chinese tour guide teachers as the number of Chinese tourists to Cambodia has increased rapidly the training course was important.

The largest source of foreign tourists to Cambodia is China. In 2018 , two million Chinese tourists visited Cambodia in 2018 which was  up 67 percent from a year earlier.

During the first three months of 2019, some 683,436 Chinese visitors came to the kingdom, up 35 percent over the same period last year.

According to Cambodia’s Tourism Minister Thong Khon the Southeast Asian nation expected to attract 3 million Chinese tourists in 2020 and up to 5 million in 2025.
