Asean-Korea Tourism Capacity Building Workshop

Siem Reap, Cambodia

Oct. 30-31


The Asean-Korea Centre, together with the Ministry of Tourism of Cambodia, will organize the Asean-Korea Tourism Capacity Building Workshop from Oct. 30 to 31 in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

Held under the theme “Digital Tourism and E-marketing,” the workshop aims to identify trends and opportunities in the rapidly transforming tourism industry as well as support Cambodia’s digital marketing strategies to attract more Korean and foreign travelers.

Policy and marketing experts from the Korean Tourism Organization, Glance TV (a leading omni-channel in Korea), and NHN Doctortour Corporation (a major online travel agency in Korea) will share their marketing know-how as well as best practices and success stories of how they are responding and adjusting to the digital transformation of tourism. The experts will also exchange views with the Cambodian participants on ways to further develop and consolidate the competitiveness of the tourism industry, including through public-private partnerships in the increasingly competitive digital era. Furthermore, in order to attract more Korean visitors, participants will explore possible tourism products and services tailored to Korean travelers based on analyses of recent trends in Korean tourism.

Tourism, which makes up 32.8 percent (as of 2018) of Cambodia’s GDP is one of the key drivers of Cambodia’s economic growth. In this regard, the Asean-Korea Tourism Capacity Building Workshop is expected to facilitate Cambodia’s adjustment to the digital transformation of tourism as well as provide an occasion for expanding Korea-Cambodia tourism cooperation into new areas. Also, the workshop is expected to contribute to revitalizing Koreans’ travel to Cambodia. Korea used to be the largest foreign tourist group in Cambodia, however, the numbers have been decreasing in recent years.

Meanwhile, the Korean government, under the New Southern Policy, aims to reach 15 million in reciprocal visits with Asean, including Cambodia, by expanding people-to-people exchanges through promoting tourism.
