More Russians wanted...

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Cambodia mulls visa on arrival for Russians
April 6, 2016

Tourism ministry looks to boost Russian arrivals to the Kingdom.

Cambodia’s Tourism Ministry has requested the government to allow visa on arrival for Russian citizens, The Khmer Times reported on April 6.

“We want to exempt the Russian tourists from applying for a visa in order to attract more Russian guests to the Kingdom,” Cambodian Tourism Minister Thong Khon said, according to the paper.

Just 55,000 Russian tourists visited Cambodia in 2015, compared to 108,000 in 2014, the paper said.

“To be able to attract Russian tourists, it would be good to have direct flights and show them the security and safety of our country and the rich culture of our country,” Khon said. “Young Russian tourists are big spenders and older Russians can stay a long time in the country.”

They're missing the obvious surely, the devaluation of the rouble compared to the dollar.

I am almost sure at least some of Putin entourage (or even Putin himself) might be able to visit in light of the Panama Papers... :stir:
