On September 18, 2025, the Ministry of Tourism held a dissemination and consultation workshop on “Digital Tourism” at សុខាល័យ hotel in Siem Reap, co-chaired by Tourism Minister Huot Hak and Siem Reap Governor ប្រាក់ សោភ័ណ.
The workshop aimed to advance sustainable digital tourism, encourage dialogue among experts and stakeholders, and improve tourism businesses’ awareness and use of digital tools.
Approximately 312 participants attended, including representatives of the ministry, the APSARA National Authority, Angkor Enterprise, departments, municipal and district administrations, tourism associations, communities and operators, as well as students and other guests.
Huot Hak said globalisation and the rapid development of digital technology and AI were transforming education, business, science, health, defence, public services and tourism.
He said digital technology could support tourism growth and resilience, create private-sector opportunities, improve competitiveness and efficiency, reduce costs, and strengthen supply chains and access to markets.
For the public sector, digitalisation could support administrative reform, simplify procedures, improve efficiency and compliance, and enhance the business environment to better respond to businesses and the public.
