In his replay H.E. Academician Hun Sen, Prime Minister of Cambodia noted that: I am delighted to participate in the ceremony to celebrate the awarding of the status “Phnom Penh: The World Capital of Tourism and Culture” to Phnom Penh capital along with my appointment as “Global Goodwill Ambassador for Tourism and the Sustainable Development Goals 2030.”

Taking this opportunity, I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to the European Council on Tourism and Trade for supporting Cambodia and electing Cambodia as “World Best Tourist Destination” in 2016.

Today, Cambodia has honored again on the occasion Phnom Penh is awarded “World Capital of Tourism and Culture” and my appointment “the Global Ambassador for Tourism and the Sustainable Development Goals 2030.

 

I wish to give three recommendations on the sustainable development of tourism sector as follows:

First, security is the key determinant of the growth in all sectors.

Second, working together for tourism development which is an important driving force of economic growth.

Third, we must ensure the positive relation between the tourism sector and the planet earth toward greener future in 2030.

These recommendations will contribute to further development of tourism sector, underpin growth in other sectors and ensure socio-economic development and cultural and environmental conservation.

The Phnom Penh ceremonies marked in a clear and worldwide message the significance and importance of SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS AGENDA and the necessity to be recognized as paramount for world development,”

The most important result of the Phnom Penh conference is the realization that: the main role of Global Ambassadors for Tourism and Sustainable Development Goals must be to obtain the democratization of the SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS AGENDA and to ensure global cooperation in their completion.
