PHNOM PENH, Jan. 11 (The Phnom Penh Post): The Ministry of Tourism plans to launch a travel bubble allowing transit between Cambodia and 12 other regional countries in a bid to resuscitate the tourism sector amid crushing impact of the ongoing spread of Covid-19, Ministry of Tourism spokesman Top Sopheak said.

He defined a “travel bubble” as a special travel package that aims to bridge movement between those countries that have “clear control of the coronavirus” and have had “no major outbreaks”.
