Cambodia's Vaccinated Traveller's Tourism Programme

Post by PSD-Kiwi »

Details will obviously become clearer in time, hopefully along with an official translation. Sounds like a shit idea to me.

"The Ministry of Tourism is honored to inform the public and international tourists that in accordance with the high permission of Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo HE, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, Cambodia will start accepting international tourists.

Those wishing to visit Cambodia from November 30, 2021 onwards, starting in Sihanoukville, Koh Rong, Sihanoukville and Darasakor area of ​​Koh Kong province and then in Siem Reap, in January 2022, within the framework of the Vaccine Tourism Program, which allows international tourists to stay and visit local or safe tourist destinations for 5 days without the need for a hotel quarantine.

Visitors to the vaccination tour are required to have a quick screening for COVID-19 upon arrival at the airport. If the results are negative, tourists can travel freely in the area or safe tourism destination, all tourism businesses are inspected in accordance with the standard operating procedures and tourism safety rules in advance."

Its another step in the good direction !!
No sign anymore from the compulsary khmer forte-insurance,
checked the Snooky-airport-side, no flights found !!
I would be pleased to go for 5 days to Snooky if i can avoid the week quarantaine in a PP hotel !!
But if it gets really through, if coming from Thailand, no quarantaine at all, that would be ofcourse "180" !!
I like when a plan comes together !!! George Peppard !!

Right now only flights from China and PP. Prior covid there was direct flights from Siem Reap, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and from Bangkok.

Sifting through the Sihanoukville sandbox for hope
Sangeetha Amarthalingam | Publication date 28 October 2021 | 20:49 ICT

An upward shift in the travel sector will soon become apparent as Cambodia decides to open up tourist hotspots – Preah Sihanouk and Koh Rong off its coast, and Dara Sakor in Koh Kong province – to vaccinated tourists from December onwards. This will be followed by Siem Reap in 2022.

Elsewhere in Southeast Asia, similar plans loom as confidence grows with the rate of vaccination despite Covid-19 flare ups in a few countries, including China.

Comparatively, Cambodia’s inoculation programme with 86 per cent of the population double-vaccinated, comes in second after Singapore and far ahead of its peers, Thailand and Indonesia.

Indeed, it gives a headstart over other ASEAN destinations to be able to promote itself as a safe tourism destination, said Hannah Pearson, founding partner of Kuala Lumpur-based tourism consultancy and sales representation Pear Anderson.

“The news that Cambodia is planning to open the Sihanoukville Sandbox on November 30, and the fact that it has already shortened quarantine requirements for travellers, is a positive step forward to reopen the country,” she said.

The phased opening requires vaccinated travellers to show proof of vaccination, medical insurance, and negative test results 72 hours before departure. They will also be allowed to visit any of the destinations for five days without quarantine.

Chhay Sivlin, president of Cambodia Association of Travel Agents, said after “two long dreadful years” it seemed reasonable to open to fully vaccinated tourists.

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”.

“It is now winter [in the northern countries], so we hope to become one of the attractive destinations for tourists from those countries,” Sivlin said.

However, she noted, for this plan to succeed, it would require “active cooperation” from air transportation, given the limited number of flights into Sihanoukville airport.

[That being said, the choice of reopening Sihanoukville and Dara Sakor to travel, which are havens for Chinese investment, suggests that the government harbours hope for Chinese nationals to come back soon.]
