geovalin Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 The Ministry of Tourism has predicted that in the worst-case scenario tourism could take up to seven years to return to normal because of Coronavirus. The ministry said that the COVID-19 crisis has had a profound effect on the development of the world in all areas, particularly the tourism sector. In the context of the pandemic, Cambodia’s tourism sector in 2020 is projected to have three scenarios. In the first it will decline from 50 percent to 60 percent, with an expectation of receiving about 2.5 million international tourists, In the second, it will decrease by 60 to 70 percent with approximately 2 million visitors. In the third scenario, the sector will decrease from 70 to 90 percent with about 1.5 million international tourists expected. With the uncertain state of COVID- 19, Cambodia is likely to suffer the third scenario, which will take up to seven years for the sector to return to normal, according to the ministry, with the best situation taking three to five years. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50752225/tourism-may-take-7-years-to-recover/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwak250 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 7 years to recover so basically before COVID-19 it was starting to turn to sh7t so we can all expect that in 7 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfiddler Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Covid has very little to do with it. The main cause of the existing decline in western tourists is because of the way they are treated by the police, immigration, 2-tier pricing, gauging etc that they are subjected to. 40 years ago it was not like this, and if I were asked to guess the start of the decline I would have to say right at the beginning of the shinawatra misreign. Immediately put in place was the "No interest for Farangs in and Thai bank account" !! A very friendly move, thinks I ! Bring back Khun Anand Panyarachun, please ???? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the Angkor Wat entrance fee, I've always found Cambodia very reasonable. It was jam packed with western tourists when I was there in March.

Srikcir Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Unfortunately, seven years out historically opens the gate for the traditional military coup. And coups take about 5 years to recover the economic crash that they cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Good luck with that one; nobody can tell you anything about Xmas this year and the TAT-clowns-in-chief can predict a seven-years-axis? Wondering what kind of crystal ball they are looking at this time. The good old days are gone; Thailand's tourism was dying anyway and Corona just sped up the whole process into the very fast lane.
