Promoting Sihanoukville to Attract Tourists

Do you have a Cambodian trip report you want to share? Post it here, and feel free to link to your blog if it's a travel blog for Cambodia, South East Asia, or anywhere really. You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us. Most people who live in or visit Cambodia have also checked out nearby countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and you can get to most of these countries by traveling overland, so put any travel plans, reviews or questions here. Discussions about dirt bike trails in here as well.

Looks like great fun on the beach driving around in traffic jams.

It won't last, it's just because it's free

they don't want to lose this great opportunity and feel stupid when one has to pay to ride the expressway

Not having been there for 5 years but from the last few years of reports and news they can have it, I won't be going there,
I'm standing up, so I must be straight.

Welcome everyone to the Kingdom of Wonder; from the Khmer Times:

Cambodia to host MTF 2023 in Preah Sihanoukville

The hosts of Mekong Tourism Forum 2023 look forward to welcoming everyone to Cambodia: Kingdom of Wonder
Image
Cambodia is gearing up to host the five-day meeting of the Mekong Tourism Forum (MTF) in Preah Sihanoukville, starting on March 16 under the theme of “Rethink for Resiliency and Digitalization.”

The aim is to embark into a new age of travel in the context of the ‘new post-Covid-19 normal’. It will be an era defined by resilience, and, importantly, health and safety measures for travellers.

Cambodia will also celebrate 2023 as the Visit Cambodia Year and will host the 32nd SEA Games and 12th ASEAN Para Games in the spirit of “Sports Loved in Peace”.

The hosts of MTF 2023 look forward to welcoming everyone to Cambodia: Kingdom of Wonder. The invitation is to ‘feel the warmth and enjoy a safe, clean and green destination.'
