18 tháng 05. 2026

Cambodia’s tourism potential and the “Green Season Cambodia” campaign were highlighted at the launch of the “EU – Here with You” campaign, organised by the European Union Delegation to Cambodia, at Chaktomuk Walk Street in Phnom Penh.

The event was attended by Tourism Minister Huot Hak; Igor Driesmans, EU Ambassador to Cambodia; Huot Hay, Deputy Governor representing Phnom Penh Governor Khuong Sreng; officials from relevant institutions; national and international guests; and members of the public.

The programme showcased the strong strategic partnership and close cooperation between Cambodia and the EU, reflecting the EU’s continued support for Cambodia through youth engagement, cultural exchanges, tourism, the arts, and creative activities.

Speaking at the event, Hak emphasised that tourism remains a priority sector and a key pillar of Cambodia’s economy under the Royal Government’s Pentagon Strategy – Phase 1. He added that Cambodia continues to attract visitors worldwide thanks to its safety, hospitality, and rich cultural, historical, and natural attractions.

The Minister also invited domestic and international tourists to visit Cambodia during the green season, from May to October, to experience the country’s lush landscapes and vibrant culture, and to take advantage of promotional offers on accommodation, food, and travel services.

As part of the campaign, the Ministry of Tourism promoted the “6 Musts” of Cambodia’s green season, encouraging visitors to explore natural scenery, stay in eco-friendly accommodation, taste local cuisine and seasonal fruit, discover heritage and eco-tourism sites, try outdoor and cultural experiences, and buy local handicrafts and agricultural products.

The Ministry said the campaign is part of broader efforts to promote Cambodia as an attractive and sustainable tourism destination throughout the year.
