Summary:
Cambodia and Indonesia want to work more closely together in tourism. They plan new actions to help more people travel between the two countries easily and quickly.
One big plan is to start direct flights between important tourist places like Bali in Indonesia and Siem Reap in Cambodia. This will save time and make travel cheaper and more comfortable for visitors. Both countries believe this will bring more tourists.
Another focus is Muslim-friendly tourism. They want to offer more services for Muslim travellers, such as halal food and places to pray. This will make both countries more attractive for visitors from Muslim communities.
They will also work together on promotion and marketing. This means they will show more information about each country in travel fairs, online campaigns, and events. Tourism experts will join FAM trips (special learning trips for travel agents and media) to understand both destinations better.
There will be cultural exchanges between tourism groups. These activities will help the countries learn from each other and create better travel packages for visitors.
The goal is to increase tourist numbers, build stronger tourism industries, and compete better with other countries in Southeast Asia. These actions will make travel between Cambodia and Indonesia easier, faster, and more enjoyable for everyone.
