Inside Cambodia’s largest airport poised to boost tourism amid scam crisis

Techo International Airport is 30 km from the center of Phnom Penh, considered a strategic step to promote tourism development and investment in the southern region.
Despite its reasonable travel costs and UNESCO-listed temples, Cambodia only welcomes about 2.5 million international visitors per year, much lower than Thailand’s 32 million and Vietnam’s 18 million.
The airport’s opening comes just days after South Korea issued a “code black” warning for parts of Cambodia following the murder of a student who was reportedly kidnapped and tortured by a local crime ring.
International advisories have also highlighted the risk of crime in Phnom Penh and unexploded ordnance in rural areas.
