Cambodia has agreed with the Thai government’s initiative to facilitate cross-border travel for tourists from six countries in the region through a single visa policy called “6 Countries, 1 Destination”, positioning Thailand as a regional tourism hub, according to a source at Government House.
The move came after talks between Cambodian Minister of Tourism Huot Hak and Dusit Manapan and Chayika Wongnapachant, advisors to the Thai Foreign Minister Maris Sangiampongsa, to discuss cross-border travel and promoting seamless tourism on Monday in Phnom Penh.
The source said the Cambodian tourism minister supported Thailand’s “6 Countries, 1 Destination” policy and agreed to discuss the issue further with Cambodia’s Ministry of Interior, Customs Department and other relevant agencies.
