Stung Treng Hosts Cambodia–Laos Tourism Investment Matchmaking on Anniversary

PHNOM PENH — October 21, 2026: Stung Treng Province played host on Tuesday to a Cambodia–Laos tourism investment matchmaking forum and a parallel dialogue on cross-border tourist flows, as the two neighbours marked seven decades of diplomatic relations.

The events were presided over by H.E. Huot Hak, Cambodia's Minister of Tourism, and H.E. Suansavanh Viyaket, Laos' Minister of Culture and Tourism, and drew roughly 250 participants — officials, delegates and private-sector tourism operators from both countries — alongside H.E. Sor Soputra, Governor of Stung Treng.

Organisers said the forums are meant to showcase the tourism potential of the region by connecting destinations in Cambodia and Laos, creating new travel experiences and attracting more visitors to both. The investment matchmaking strand is aimed at expanding business-to-business links and opening opportunities for the private sectors on each side.

The celebrations around the 70th anniversary began on October 19 and run to October 22 in Stung Treng before moving to Champasak Province in Laos.
