Tourism officials from Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam have gathered at a meeting in Cambodia´s Sihanoukville to look into ways to boost the development of tourism in the three countries´ common sea area.

Cambodia´s Secretary of State for Tourism, Thong Khon, said after the meeting that participants had agreed upon measures to strengthen cooperation among the three countries. This new project has come to light after neighbouring Asian cities sense that boasting their tourism would lead to greater investment into property areas within their countries.

High on the agenda of the meeting were discussions on the training of human resources for sea tourism, linkage tours between tourism destinations in the three countries, as well as the exchange of experience and tour operation management in the tourism sector. The second meeting of its kind is scheduled to take place in Thailand in 2008.
