The ASEAN Chamber of Commerce and Industry has announced plans to mobilize a delegation of 50 to 100 member companies to explore significant investment opportunities in Cambodia, particularly within the burgeoning tourism sector.

This decision came during a pivotal meeting between H.E. Huot Hak, Minister of Tourism of Cambodia, and DATO Sohaimi Shahadan, the President of the ASEAN Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Malaysia. The discussions centered on Cambodia’s attractive investment climate, characterized by peace, political stability, and a supportive environment for foreign direct investment.

Minister Huot Hak emphasized the country’s strategic advantages, including a stable macroeconomic foundation and a variety of incentives designed to encourage private sector investment. He highlighted Cambodia’s commitment to fostering a conducive environment for both local and foreign investors.

In a collaborative effort, the ASEAN Chamber of Commerce and Industry plans to bring a range of tourism-related businesses—including hotels, restaurants, technology firms, and fashion show organizers—to Cambodia for a working visit. DATO Sohaimi Shahadan expressed enthusiasm about the potential for partnership and exploration of new investment avenues in the region.

Additionally, the Cambodian Tourism Association, along with the Cambodian Tourism Federation and the Cambodian Asia-Pacific Tourism Association, is gearing up to closely collaborate with the ASEAN Chamber to enhance investment promotion efforts in the tourism sector.

Notably, the Council for the Development of Cambodia has already approved 491 investment projects in the first eight months of 2025, showcasing a growing interest from investors, including those from China, in seizing opportunities within the country. (Read more)
