The Cambodian government has officially approved the Mondulkiri Tourism Development Master Plan for 2021-2035, identifying Mondulkiri as an international eco-tourism destination and a crucial supply hub for flowers, vegetables, fruit and meat for both domestic consumption and export.

Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen stated in a letter dated 12 August 2021that the Mondulkiri tourism sector is on an upward cycle, which puts the province itself on track to unleash its full development potential.

The tourism master plan will help create investment opportunities, and add value to many sectors that support both the local and national economies according to the letter.

Many projects will be implemented following this master plan which includes the development of ecotourism destinations, a new Mondulkiri airport, a satellite city connected with Sen Monorom city, and integrated tourist resorts along the border.
