Mekong Institute (Ml) is currently implementing the “Sustainable and Smart Tourism Development in the Mekong Region” project supported by the Mekong-Republic of Korea Cooperation Fund (MKCF). With support from each country’s National Tourism Organizations and local destination management companies, the three-year project introduces smart tourism tools, techniques, and technologies through learning exchanges, structured learning visits, information-sharing, and adaptation of best practices.

Organised with the support of Destination Mekong, the roadshow event in Siem Reap will take place at Angkor Green 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 will allow an exchange of local insights and experience in respect to sustainable and smart tourism while showcasing local products and services, traditional music, and cultural arts through exhibitions, performance, photo contest, and videography.
