In a significant announcement that positions Cambodia on the global tourism and entertainment map, Prime Minister Hun Manet recently declared the much-anticipated arrival of the Gumball 3000 Rally to the nation. This revelation came during a ceremony marking the commencement of construction for the Samdech Pin Sem Museum in Siem Reap province, scheduled for the 18th of July, 2024. The event underscores the kingdom’s intent to solidify its status as a vibrant destination for international tourists.

In his address, Premier Hun Manet leveraged the opportunity to spotlight the integral role the Gumball 3000 Rally, along with other prestigious events, will play in revitalizing the region, particularly the iconic Siem Reap-Angkor area. He extended his commendation to the Cambodian Minister of Tourism and the diligent organizers behind these initiatives for their unwavering commitment and hard work.

The Prime Minister’s discourse also touched upon the overarching strategy to enhance tourism inflow into the country. Specifically, he outlined how the organization of such high-profile events aligns with Cambodia’s promotional campaign focused on attracting visitors to Siem Reap in 2024.

Further elaborating on the preparatory efforts, it was disclosed that on the 5th of June, 2024, the Minister of Tourism, Sok Soken, conducted a video conference with Maximillion Cooper, the visionary founder behind the Gumball 3000 Entertainment Group, and representatives from the esteemed Chip Mong Group. The discussions were pivotal in charting the progress for the upcoming event. The Gumball 3000 Rally, renowned for its glitzy parade of luxury vehicles and the gathering of celebrities from various corners of the globe, offers an unparalleled adventure that connects continents. The rally’s trajectory through Cambodia is poised to captivate locals and travelers alike, promising a spectacle of automotive excellence and star power.

As Cambodia gears up to play host to this prestigious global event, the anticipation continues to build. The Gumball 3000 Rally not only promises to be a feast for the eyes but also a significant catalyst in boosting the nation’s tourism sector, drawing attention to Cambodia’s rich cultural heritage and breathtaking landscapes.
