geovalin Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on Cambodia’s tourism industry, with nearly 3,000 tourism and tourism-related businesses closing and more than 45,000 workers losing jobs as of May. Cambodia is one of the Southeast Asian countries that strictly enforce restrictions on foreign arrivals to prevent the spread of the disease. However, this has led to increased unemployment and debt burden, seriously affecting socio-economic development. Cambodia’s Ministry of Tourism forecast that the local tourism industry will lose 3 billion USD this year. According to Cambodia’s regulations, all foreigners entering Cambodia must have a 3,000 USD deposit on arrival, medical insurance of at least 50,000 USD, and a health certificate declaring they are free of COVID-19. President of the Cambodia Association of Travel Agents Chhay Sivlin has expressed her concern regarding the entry requirements and called on the government to ease the travel restrictions. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50741433/45000-tourist-sector-workers-out-of-jobs-as-covid-19-wreaks-havoc-on-cambodias-tourism-industry/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BritManToo Posted July 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2020 I love Cambodia, already had 2 holidays there cancelled due to COVID. (one when I had just arrived there) I won't be going again until the restrictions are reduced to a temperature test and a signed declaration from me. COVID insurance, no ....... $3000, no. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
