New air route to Cambodia tipped

Viet Nam and Cambodia are planning to open two routes linking the coastal city of Sihanoukville in Cambodia with Phu Quoc Island and Can Tho city in Viet Nam.
According to the Secretariat of Civil Aviation of Cambodia (SSCA), Vietnam Airlines and SSCA are conducting a feasibility study for the two new routes. The chairman of the Cambodian Association of Travel Agents, Ho Vandy, said both Phu Quoc Island in Kien Giang Province and Can Tho city were attractive tourism centres in Viet Nam. Once launched, the weekly flights will help transport a large number of foreign tourists to Cambodia, he added.
