DOT: Manila-Phnom Penh flights to boost tourism | philstar.com
Tourism Secretary Wanda Corazon Teo wants direct flights to the Cambodian capital from the Philippines. There are flights to Siem Reap, a resort town in northwestern Cambodia known for the Angkor Wat temple complex, from the Philippines but none to and from Phnom Penh.
"If we have a direct flight, I'm sure tourist arrivals of Cambodian people to the Philippines would increase," Teo said in a press briefing in Cambodia on Thursday.
According to Teo, only 2,000 to 3,000 Cambodians visit the Philippines a year while around 70,000 Filipinos visit Cambodia yearly.
