Tourism minister to Thai border
In an attempt to foster tourism on the Cambodia-Thai border, tourism officials this week visited the Cham Yeam border crossing in Koh Kong province. Warming relations with Thailand’s newly elected Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra are expected to improve cross-border tourism, which deteriorated after border clashes in Preah Vihear province earlier this year, Minister of Tourism Thong Khon said on Monday. Unofficial visa fees collected at border crossings, however, still hinder a potentially large tourism market in the region.
