Cambodia’s tourism short of staff

21 May 2014

Cambodia’s Ministry of Tourism says the country’s tourism sector is growing at an unsustainable rate that will cause a massive shortfall in skilled tourism-related labour.

It is agreed that the country lacks skilled workers and there are not enough training institutions to resolve the shortage. Cooks and housekeepers are included in 32 positions in six labour divisions that will have the freedom to work in any of the ASEAN Economic Community countries next year. Last year, Cambodia attracted 4,210,165 visits increasing 17.5% from 3,584,307 visits in 2012. Just over 2 million overland trips came from neighbouring Vietnam, Laos and Thailand.
