When Can We Visit Cambodia Again?
Before I delve into specific Cambodia attractions, I thought it would be helpful to address the elephant in the room: When, precisely, will we able to visit Cambodia again? While some of you will be reading this in the distance future, when Covid-19 is nothing but a bad memory, the reality is that Cambodia remains off-limits to the majority of foreign visitors as of early 2021. Ongoing restrictions are complicated by a new outbreak of the disease, and the country’s relatively slow vaccine rollout.
The good news is that scientists expect the acute phase of the pandemic to be over sometime in the first half of 2021, which means the prospects for tourism to Cambodia in the second half are relatively good. In the worse case scenario, I would expect tourism to Cambodia to be possible again in early 2022. You can minimize your chances for disappointment by planning a more general itinerary now, and waiting until later to attach it to specific dates.

People-centric projects are top priority for JICA in the Kingdom
Mon, 15 March 2021
The government’s goal of Cambodia becoming a high middle-income country by 2030 before reaching high-income status by 2050 could well become a reality given Cambodia’s stellar economic growth of 7.3 per cent over a decade, prior to the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, these ambitious targets can only be achieved by diversifying the Kingdom’s domestic economy and by developing human capital to support growth.
Towards this, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has played a critical role in assisting the socio-economic development of Cambodia.
