What To Do In Cambodia can help hotels to sell activities

Ticket sales for activities and tours in Cambodia have received a transparency and visibility boost, thanks to the launch of a new software programme that allows hotels to sell activities.

To Do In Cambodia software developer, Stéphane Combre, was inspired to launch the project after noting guests at his hotel, The 252 in Phnom Penh, after were checking in for longer and seeking more things to do.

Hotels sign up to the platform, receiving their own page that runs in tandem with their website. A range of activities, entertainment and wellness options are selected by the hotel, which they can offer to guests through this page.

These range from apsara performances and cookery classes to tours, spas and transport. Each activity is listed with a photograph, short description and set price, and can be booked online.

Since launching in March, about 100 leading hotels in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap have signed up to the platform, with over 1,000 activities, entertainment options, spa treatments and transport route listings offered by September. Signing up is free for hotels, with businesses paying a one-off fee of US$50.

The To Do Software aims to provide a service where visitors can be sure they are paying the right price, while also offering a platform for hotels to sell tours and activities and drive more customers towards locally-run businesses.
