Roadshow in Siem Reap

MI is organising a roadshow event on Sustainable and Smart Tourism Development in five selected UNESCO heritage sites in Mekong Countries as part of the project. Ayutthaya in Thailand, Siem Reap in Cambodia, Luang Prabang in Lao PDR, Hue in Vietnam, and Bagan in Myanmar are among them. The five heritage sites were chosen for their historical and cultural significance, as well as their importance in each country’s tourism industry.

Organised with the support of Destination Mekong, the roadshow event in Siem Reap is planned for November 21, 2022 from 12 pm to 6 pm. The event is expected to increase multi-stakeholder tourism industry knowledge and understanding of the opportunities and practices associated with sustainable and smart tourism in Siem Reap.

The roadshow’s specific goals are as follows:

  • To introduce to local stakeholders and potential users a newly designed smartphone application with its functions.
  • To confirm and validate the data for the mobile application content, such as community-based tourism actors, sustainable tourism social enterprises, relevant digital media and travel bloggers, and cultural tourism actors;
  • To share local knowledge and experience about sustainable and smart tourism.
  • To encourage local cooperation and the integration of sustainable and smart tourism in Mekong countries’ heritage sites.
  • To promote local products and services, traditional music, and cultural arts through exhibitions, performances, photo contests, and videography.
