Ministry rolls out refresher tourism courses after Covid lull
Tue, 12 January 2021
The Ministry of Tourism provides short course to staff working in tourism sectors in target provinces in order to refresh and strengthen their skills as the Kingdom expected to attract at least half a million tourists in 2021, depending on the Covid-19 situation.
Thong Rathasak, the director-general of the ministry’s General Directorate of Tourism Development and International Cooperation, told The Post that the government had put in place measures to prevent Covid-19 infection that tour operators and those working in the tourism sector should follow.
He said Cambodia expected to receive at least 500,000 tourists in 2021, but that number could increase if the Covid-19 pandemic is mitigated through wide distribution of vaccines. The tourism sector will re-emerge to some extent though, he predicted.
