Thailand Travel Agent Conference

A Thailand travel agent conference will bring together Cambodian and Thai agents and tour operator this weekend. Agents will discussing ways of boosting tourism between the two countries in the face of an ongoing border dispute.

The meeting will take place in a coastal city of Preah Sihanouk province, which is about 230 km south of Phnom Penh. 28 Cambodian travel agents and 66 Thai travel agents are expected to attend the meeting. They are hopeful that as military tensions on the border region ease and a sense of normalcy returns to the border region tourism will also rebound. Travel associations in both countries want to work together to their mutual benefit, as both sides will be promoting their tourist attractions in the neighboring country. The number of Thai tourists visiting Cambodia has steadily declined since the border dispute began in July 2008.
