[PHNOM PENH POST]
The Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) launched its Cambodian
chapter on Friday in the hope of further promoting the country’s
second-largest sector by revenues.
The sparsity of air routes to
Cambodia was one of the main obstacles to the Kingdom’s tourism growth,
PATA Cambodia chapter president Thoun Sinann said.
It was hoped
the PATA chapter would broaden awareness of the Kingdom’s tourism
sector, Tith Chantha, general director of tourism at the Ministry of
Tourism, said.
“The assoc-iation is very important, because it
will push for the promotion of the tourism sector in the Asia-Pacific
region,” he said.
Tourism Minister Thong Khon said Cambodia expected to receive 4.5 million international tourists a year by 2015.
