Company Outings, Corporate travel, face to face Conference, and almost the entire MICE and team building industry was in severe crisis during the Covid-19 pandemic. Domestic and international Flights were grounded, international travel minimized to the absolute essential and executives and high rank and field staff encouraged to work from home.

Not different from many other parts of the world, Cambodia’s tourism and MICE business suffered badly, especially Siem Reap when 90% of small and medium-sized business were wiped out. Thousands of tourism related jobs were frozen, left all those experts jobless and forced to catch other careers.

However, with situation improvement and government has lifted many restrictions and pay a great focus on the tourism recovery.  Check our Cambodia Tourism Update article here: https://www.sam-inspire.com/post-pandemic-cambodia-travel-updates/

Along with the fresh and virgin destinations with cost-competitiveness, cultural attractions, natural beauty or a buzzing nightlife, Cambodia will once again be on the center of the international MICE travel map.
