Searches for Phnom Penh tourism items are gaining momentum! The following two months are anticipated to see a significant influx of Chinese tourists

According to Chinese media, various online travel platforms have learnt that not long after the Lunar New Year, visitors have already begun preparing the "May Day" holiday. The surge in bookings for tourism-related items appears to have arrived early. The number of search bookings for international holiday locations and Phnom Penh tourism items has risen among them. Several industry insiders believe that the "May 1st" holiday will keep the Spring Festival travel market strong.

With the legalization of outbound travel in China on May 1, the search for and booking of Phnom Penh tourist goods, as well as tourism products in Bangkok, Seoul, Hong Kong, Macao, Kuala Lumpur, Moscow, Phuket Island, Ho Chi Minh City, Chiang Mai, and other locations, is heating up. Searches and reservations are also on the rise.

Recent positive news, such as the exemption of nucleic acid from numerous areas in China, the revocation of the "mask order" in Hong Kong, and the easing of the epidemic prevention policy for mainland Chinese visiting Japan, have also increased demand for cross-border travel. According to Ctrip statistics, while the number of outgoing flights has remained less than 20% lower than the same period in 2019, the popularity of air ticket searches has increased to almost 80% in the same period 2019.

Travel firms have been aggressively developing tourist goods to Angkor Wat in Cambodia since the start of outbound and group trips in China. Tour groups from Guangzhou, Xi'an, and Shenzhen have arrived one after the other; tourists travelling to Cambodia will establish a "green channel" for easy visa application.

Several young Chinese travel lovers travelled to Cambodia to begin free travel, and many travel techniques were exchanged and released on the grass-planting portal Xiaohongshu.

It should be noted that with China's outbound tourism rapidly recovering, several travel firms and brokers have lately begun to provide information on flight tickets from Shanghai to Siem Reap in Minutes. Cambodia will host large-scale events such as the Songkran Festival and the East Asian Games in the coming months. With the simplicity of China's entrance rules, the development of direct flights between China and Cambodia, the expansion of cities and flights, and the "May 1st" Chinese golden week, Cambodia tourism is expected to attract more Chinese visitors.
