With the support from the government of Cambodia, foreign investors are focusing on developing sustainable tourist destinations which will promote the country’s tourism industry to the international arena.

One prominent proponent of this process is successful hospitality specialist Mr Rory Hunter who developed Sihanoukville’s famous Song Saa Island and who earlier this week said that his company is focusing on the development of eco-friendly luxury tourist destinations which will attract more international tourists to stay in Cambodia for longer period.

“Cambodia is more than just temples”, he said while adding that the country has great potential to diversify its eco-tourism industry to keep visitors staying longer.

“Cambodia can be a leader in luxury eco-tourism” he said. In addition, he also said that tourism is a very powerful way to lift people out of poverty, but in a conservative way.
