Special tourism policy

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

The Cambodian scheme is similar to the Thai scheme, https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/ge ... ially-open

From the governments' point of view, it makes sense to introduce these schemes, especially if your neighbouring countries have introduced one - you don't want to miss out on the potential. They don't cost a lot to administer.
But in terms of total spend, the big money comes from the ordinary tourist and long-stayer. And, as has been said, the local small businesses get a bigger share of the spend, compared to the high-rollers who don't tend to eat chicken noodles on the street.
