Japan to build $200 m shopping mall in Cambodia
|
|
AEON Mall, a Japan's single-largest shopping mall developer and the largest retailing operator, will invest $200 million to build a four-storey shopping mall here in December, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said Tuesday. "It will be the country's largest modern market and the investment will cost more than $200 million," he said during a graduation ceremony of students at the National University of Management. The construction will be begun on December 10, 2012 on the land area of more than 100,000 square meters along the river in the capital's Chamkamon district, he said. The mall will create between 2,000 and 3,000 jobs. The premier said the investment reflected Japanese investors' confidence in Cambodia and it will also contribute to promoting the country's tourism sector. A Japanese senior officer at the AEON Mall-Phnom Penh Branch confirmed Tuesday in a condition of anonymity that the construction will be completed in 2014.

Tourists flock to Angkor Wat
|
|
Approximately 1.3 million tourists travelled to the World Heritage Site through the first eight months of the year, a 31 percent rise compared with 1.04 million during the same period in 2011.
The majority of visitors are from neighbouring Asian countries, with South Korea, Vietnam, China, Japan and Thailand constituting the top five source markets.
According to a report by the Siem Reap provincial tourism department, Angkor Wat received 238,400 South Koreans, up 41 percent compared with the same period last year; 163,055 Vietnamese, down 13 percent; 110,500 Chinese, up 47 percent; 86,850 Japanese, up 16 percent; and 79,035 Thais, up 184 percent.
The rise in Korean and Chinese tourists is attributed to improved air connectivity, while the quelling of last year’s Cambodian-Thai border dispute has prompted resurgence in travel from Thailand.
