Cambodia is gearing up to host the ASEAN Tourism Forum in 2011, officials saying this week the country was ready to welcome ATF delegates for a second time.
Speaking to reporters at ATF 2010 in Brunei this week, ASEAN Cambodia tourism director Thok Sokhom said the event would be held 15-21 January 2011.
The venue t be used will be the US$4 million Diamond Island Convention and Exhibition Center in Phnom Penh.
The hosting of the event will further boost arrivals to the country which received over 2 million international arrivals last year according to Director Thok.
Of those arrivals, 58 percent were by air and 35-42 percent of arrivals were from the Asia-Pacific.
The director said the tourism board has been working hard to attract more international inbound tourists by increasing accessibility through open-sky policies, visa on arrival, e-visas and visa exemptions for ASEAM member countries.
Indonesia confirmed earlier this week that it would host ATF 2012.
