Cambodia and Thailand are joining hands to promote the ” Two Kingdoms , One Destination” programme with the aim of drawing overseas visitors and developing tourism in ASEAN member countries.
Cambodia’s Phnom Penh Post newspaper on June 12 quoted secretary of state at the Ministry of Tourism Tith Chantha as saying the two countries have already created a single-visa option for tourists looking to explore Cambodia and Thailand in one trip.
He said Cambodia will benefit from the campaign once it kicks off since Thailand has a lot of airlines operating long flights to Europe or the US while Cambodia does not have many of such flights.
Meanwhile, Thai Minister of Tourism and Sports Kobkran Wattanakvrangkul told the Bangkok Post that the campaign will run from 2015 to 2017, and is expected to attract more foreign vacationers to Thailand and Cambodia and promote intra-ASEAN tourism.
According to the Ministry of Tourism, Cambodia received some 1. 3 million foreign tourists in the first quarter of 2015, up 3.1 percent over the same period last year.-VNA
