River festival to boost eco-tourism
The government’s third annual River Festival in Steung Treng province next weekend will form part of a strategy to attract eco-tourism investment to provinces in the northeast of the country, officials have said. Kong Sophearak, director of the Statistics Department at the Ministry of Tourism, told Khmer Times that coastal areas, Phnom Penh and the ancient province of Siem Reap have traditionally attracted the bulk of hospitality investment.
