SERVING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND THE GROWTH OF TOURISM
With three strategically located airports in Cambodia, VINCI Airports subsidiary Cambodia Airports plays a key role in promoting the country and enhancing its prestige. The international airport in Phnom Penh connects the capital of the kingdom, which is also its main economic hub, with the major Asian cities. The Siem Reap airport provides access to the Angkor temples, the country’s leading tourist site. And lastly, the airport in Sihanoukville, near the coast, enables tourists to reach seaside resorts from Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. The three airports we manage have experienced steady traffic growth for several years. In 2013 alone, the Siem Reap and Phnom Penh airports recorded passenger growth of 20% and 15% respectively, surpassing all previous records. This performance is driven by strong increases in route openings to support economic growth (7.4% in 2013) and the expansion of the tourist industry (3.5 million tourists in 2012). Since it began operating in Cambodia in 1995, VINCI Airports has paid particular attention to corporate social responsibility. Cambodia Airports has introduced social benefits that provide health coverage for all its employees and their families. The subsidiary is also working with the Cambodian government to conserve the Khmer heritage and support local populations by setting up and supporting a social enterprise, “Artisans d’Angkor,” which employs more than 1,300 people in the Siem Reap region.
