..........She commended the government for selecting Sihanoukville and Koh Kong to be the starting points to receive tourists due to its “abundant coastal and natural treasures”.

Left out,
abundant casinos and chinese only restaurants make it an attractive choice for visiting chinese. :stir:

thanks for posting the official translation, I don't know how accurate is the translation, but my questions are :

1) just Koh Rong sialnd is included or they mean included Koh Rong Sanloem ? Siem Reap in January 2022 it could be after 25 January or they mean 1.1.2022 ?
2) family or high-end visitors it seems to be escluded invidual high-end visitor how they define high-end ? are just 5stars hotel allowed ? how many al least in the small group ?
3) accomodation all the accomodations in that areas ? or just the qualified hotels ?
4) when applying for the visa accomodation and maybe the flight too must be paid but you can paid and have the opportunity to cancel the booking in case of denied visa
5) health insurance must be Forte ? or here another health insurance covering covid and cancelation would be ok

Maybe you have to fly in the selected area, but I could not find any clear directive about this aspect. On page 5 "II Upon arriving at international airports OR at Safe and Green Zones tourists will be rquired to undergo test at the entrance" I could even understand that you could land in PP and then drive to SHV, where you would have the test.

Interesting they clear that in case of a positive tourist on the flight, all the tourists have to take a PCR and if the negative they can proceed to their booked accomodations.

I understood it as you getting tested in PP, and then you have to have a booking to get there and a hotel. After testing negative you're good to go and then do another test on the 4th day.

No, must fly directly into Sihanoukville to be eligible for this scheme.

It doesn't say that. I just got off the phone with the Cambodian embassy in London and they were not helpful at all. The only information I could get out of them is that it needs to be a tour group.

It doesn't say a lot of things, it's clear as mud, but if you follow local media and speeches, these things are mentioned. And good luck with Cambodian Embassy staff being able to provide you with more details, most of them aren't even aware of all of the recent changes to entry & quarantine requirements

The first flight will depart from Phnom Penh International Airport at 9:00 am on November 17 and arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok at 10:10 a.m. as planned.

Other flights will depart on November 21 and 23 at the same time

if this is geared for travelers program IE..... the chinese:
their going to be very wealthy ones

PHNOM PENH--A one-way flight between Cambodia and China is costing up to $8,000, while a return trip is more than $10,000. The one-way fare was previously under $1,000 and sometimes less than $400.

State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA) spokesperson Sin Chanserivutha said the Cambodia-China airfare has been rising for many months. A flight to China costs ten times more than a flight to the US.

The unprecedented rise in airfares between Cambodia and China was due to the low numbers of flights and passengers, Vutha said. Only one airline was flying the route whereas there were three or four before the pandemic.

I have no trouble finding return flights to China for under $1000 even for next week. And one way flights from China to Cambodia for $200 even.
