Cambodian hub reopens
16 January 2007
People taking a holiday in Cambodia will now benefit from the reopening of a previously disused airport.
The hub, situated in the country's main coastal city of Sihanoukville, has been reopened by ambitious officials who hope that it will help to attract more tourists.
Hopes have been raised that tourists will stay in the country longer as they make use of Cambodia's excellent beaches after visiting the temples.
Many visitors to Cambodia travel to Siem Reap, home to Angkor temples which are very popular.
Now officials hope that by opening the hub in Sihanoukville it will be easier for travellers to stay.
'This is part of our strategy in linking the two tourist destinations,' said deputy tourism minister Thong Khon.
Mr Khon also revealed that the airport's runway needs to be extended before it can accept international flights.
