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).

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.
