Uncovering the untapped potential of Cambodia as a MICE Destination, with its vibrant cities of Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, beckons the curious and the ambitious. The air is thick with history, yet alive with diverse culture and potential, making it an innovative choice for incentives and events.
Having recently spent a week there, here are some reasons why we love the destination:
New Infrastructure
The new Siem Reap Angkor International Airport, now operational, and the upcoming new airport in Phnom Penh promise to significantly enhance accessibility and travel comfort. These developments, along with new 5-star hotels, are transforming Cambodia into a world-class destination. A personal favourite during our trip was the Rosewood in Phnom Penh. Having been voted as the second best in Cambodia, we can see why!
Historical Marvels
Siem Reap, home to the iconic Angkor Wat, provides a captivating backdrop steeped in history and spirituality. A particularly special moment was spent watching the sunrise over the beautiful landscape. It offers a journey through time and a feeling like no other, perfect for inspiring and educating attendees.
Cultural Melting Pot
Phnom Penh, the bustling capital, showcases a harmonious blend of traditional Khmer heritage and modern influences. This city is a living testament to Cambodia’s dynamic fusion of cultures and ideas.
Culinary Adventures
The Cambodian cuisine is a delightful fusion of flavours, reflecting the country’s diverse influences. From street food to fine dining, the gastronomic experiences in Cambodia are both exotic and unforgettable. Definitely milder than other parts of Asia so a great option for mixed demographics.
Warm and Welcoming People
The genuine warmth and hospitality of the Cambodian people make getting around easy and accessible. Their friendly nature and eagerness to share their culture create a welcoming atmosphere for any event.
Ease of Arrival
With the introduction of the new online passenger arrival card and e-visa system, entering Cambodia has never been easier. These digital innovations streamline the process, making it convenient for international travellers and large groups alike!
