According to Jing Travel, over 1m Chinese tourists travelled to Cambodia in the first 7 months of 2018, a year on year growth of nearly 73%. Billions of dollars in Chinese investments have been made in the country, as part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). It has also been channeled into Cambodia’s tourism industry, which is growing the country’s luxury tourism sector.
One of the most dramatic tourism investment projects, according to the article, is the US$1.2 billion ‘Tourism Vacation Town’, involving Tianjin Union Development Group (UDG). The resort will be a luxury city featuring high-end hotels and theme parks. This isn’t the first tourism project that UDG has launched in Cambodia. It acquired a 99-year lease for land in Koh Kong Province and is building a US$3.8 billion resort dubbed ‘Dara Sakor’.
Inbound medical tourism flow to Cambodia remains low, particularly following the country’s decision to ban commercial surrogacy and recent efforts to crack down on illegal surrogacy activity. For a more detailed analysis of the medical travel sector to and from Cambodia.
