Siem Reap trade cultivates Hong Kong market on the back of Dragonair

27 Sep 2013  2044 | Business & Trade Fairs

DRAGONAIR will launch a new thrice-weekly seasonal service connecting home base Hong Kong to Siem Reap on October 29, with inbound operators and hotels in the Cambodian destination welcoming the imminent increase in arrivals. 

 Flights depart Hong Kong every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

 Diethelm Travel Group’s key account director, Sam Vincent, commented: “The current flights from Hong Kong to Phnom Penh do not allow for easy connections with flights to Siem Reap, often requiring an overnight in Phnom Penh.

 “With the start of the direct Dragonair flight, we are eagerly looking to develop business with our existing partners in Hong Kong. The area is already known for its selection of hotels and international golf courses, all of which appeal to the Hong Kong traveller,” Vincent continued.

 “Hong Kong is most definitely an emerging market for us and we are looking forward to welcoming an increase in visitor arrivals from this region,” said Dennis Kam, director of sales and marketing at Le Méridien Angkor in Siem Reap.

 While Exotissimo Travel’s Cambodia outfit is currently not tapping the Asian market, this may soon change with Dragonair’s new connection. “Many expatriates are based in Hong Kong and are likely to include a visit to one of the most revered highlights in Asia over the course of a weekend,” commented Grégoire Imberty, general manager.

 “Hong Kong is also an extremely popular MICE destination. We will look to offer attractive combinations with our sister office in China to link the modern wonders of Hong Kong with the magic of centuries-old Angkor temples.”
