HONG KONG, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On 1st April, 2025, the inaugural flight ceremony of Cambodia Airways' Phnom Penh - Hong Kong service was successfully held at Hong Kong International Airport. The event was graced by the presence of several notable guests, including Mr. Perry Yiu, MH, JP, Legislative Council Member (Tourism) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Mr. Johnny So, Honorary Treasurer & Director of the Travel Industry Council of Hong Kong, Mr. Chapman Fong, Deputy Director of Corporate Development of Airport Authority Hong Kong, Mr. Gary Zhan, Chairman of SATS HK Limited, Mr. Jesse Fang, CEO of SATS HK Limited, and other heads of relevant government departments and enterprises. Mr. Edison Duan, BOD&CEO of Cambodia Airways, led a delegation to join the guests in celebrating the inauguration of the new route.
Phnom Penh - Hong Kong is Cambodia Airways' fourth non-stop flight to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area after Phnom Penh - Macau, Phnom Penh - Shenzhen and Phnom Penh - Guangzhou. Cambodia Airways' network now fully covers the four central cities of the region.
The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area is one of China's most economically active regions and a major export hub for China. As a world-renowned international metropolis and aviation hub, Hong Kong plays an important role in the region. Meanwhile, Cambodia is emerging as one of the fastest-growing economies in the ASEAN region and an important node of the Belt and Road Initiative. In recent years, it has become an attractive destination for Chinese investment abroad.
As the only full-service airline in Cambodia, offering high-quality business class service with unique Khmer characteristics, the airline's new Phnom Penh - Hong Kong route will not only provide more convenience for business travelers between the two places but also facilitate exchanges, deepen industrial cooperation, and promote the vitality of economic and trade development of the two places. Hong Kong tourists will also have a better travel option to Cambodia, where they can explore Khmer customs and culture and visit the country's historical sites.
In a warm display of hospitality, Cambodia Airways, together with SATS HK Limited and Megacap Aviation Service Limited, welcomed the flight crew of the KR507 Phnom Penh to Hong Kong flight with flowers to celebrate their smooth landing. Passengers boarding the return flight from Hong Kong to Phnom Penh were also presented with souvenir gifts, along with heartfelt wishes for a wonderful trip ahead. At 2pm Cambodia time, a sense of excitement filled the air as Cambodia Airways' inaugural flight KR508 from Hong Kong touched down at Phnom Penh International Airport. In a warm gesture of welcome, airport staff greeted the first group of travelers arriving on the flight with beautiful Khmer jasmine garlands. They also presented beautiful flowers to the flight crew to celebrate the success of the inaugural flight.

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital travel platform Agoda reveals that Vietnam is becoming an increasingly popular year-end travel choice for families in the region and beyond. Based on searches made between September and November 2025 for stays during December 2025 and January 2026, Agoda recorded a 30% increase in family travel interest to Vietnam compared with the same period the previous year.
Agoda data shows that Vietnam is attracting more international families than ever this winter holiday season. South Koreans take the lead as the top market interested in traveling to Vietnam in December and January, with families from India, Singapore, Australia, and Malaysia rounding out the top five. Notably, Agoda reported that Indian families showcased the highest growth in travel interest to Vietnam during this period, with a 186% increase in searches. Malaysians also, are expressing strong growth in interest, with a 74% increase in searches, highlighting Vietnam's appeal as a family destination in Southeast Asia and beyond.
Families are choosing Vietnam for its storied culture and cuisine, diverse landscapes, and abundance of family-friendly resorts and attractions.
Phu Quoc Island leads as the most sought-after destination among international family travelers with a 47% increase in searches, popular for its sandy beaches, calm waters, and nature parks ideal for multi-generation vacations. Da Nang follows with 42% growth in travel interest, noted for its beaches, soft adventure activities, and access to Ba Na Hills theme park. Nha Trang comes in third place, remaining a favorite for its long coastline, family-oriented resorts, and island experiences. In fourth place, Ho Chi Minh City appeals with its vibrant food scene, entertainment complexes, and day trips to the Mekong Delta. In the north, Hanoi continues to draw families with its cultural landmarks, museums, and festive atmosphere, rounding out the top five most family-friendly year-end destinations in Vietnam.
Meanwhile, although Vietnamese families traditionally travel less internationally at the end of the year – typically preferring to wait for the Lunar New Year - China is becoming a noticeable exception. Among the top 20 outbound destinations preferred by Vietnamese families during the December-January period, searches for Shanghai increased 58%, while Beijing increased 59%. This shift is supported by the launch of new direct routes between Hanoi and selected Chinese cities earlier this year, making end-of-year overseas trips more accessible than ever.
Vu Ngoc Lam, Country Director at Agoda, said: "It is wonderful to see Vietnam increasingly chosen as an end-of-year holiday destination for families from across Asia and beyond. Agoda's data shows that travelers are recognizing Vietnam's family-friendly appeal, which further strengthen its position on the global travel map. As more families plan their festive-season or year-end getaways, we are delighted to support them through Agoda's simple, intuitive platform and our wide range of stays, flights, and activities."
With over 6 million properties, 130,000 flight routes, and 300,000 activities, all bookable in one seamless itinerary, Agoda helps families plan memorable year-end holidays, whether they choose a peaceful beach break, a cultural city escape, or an international exploration to mark the close of the year.
