But the rules - a compulsory period varying from 3 to 7 then 5 days - were hardly an incentive. Just like the obligation to stay in designated areas around <strong>Sihanoukville<\/strong>. This extremely sinicised seaside resort, with its hotels, karaoke bars and casinos, is far from the holiday destination dreamed of by Europeans in search of exoticism.<\/p>\n<p>So the Cambodian Prime Minister has decided to change the rule. The announcement was made on Sunday 14 November and came into force on Monday 15 November, <strong>the new rules allow fully vaccinated international visitors to stay throughout the country - without any quarantine requirements<\/strong>. Only two PCR tests are compulsory. The first is carried out 72 hours before departure for Cambodia. The second on arrival. If the second test proves negative, the traveller is free to travel as he wishes.<\/p>\n<p>This political about-turn can be explained by <strong>a very high vaccination rate<\/strong> -88% of the population received two doses of vaccine - and <strong>a need to revitalise an economy dependent on tourism<\/strong>. The other explanation for this strategic change is the fact that Sihanoukville is not very attractive to international visitors. Except for Chinese tourists, who are currently banned from travelling anyway.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_116225\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-116225\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/kuala-lumpur-small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-116225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/kuala-lumpur-small.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/kuala-lumpur-small.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/kuala-lumpur-small-300x225-derived.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/kuala-lumpur-small-80x60-derived.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/kuala-lumpur-small-265x198-derived.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-116225\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">International travellers return to Kuala Lumpur on 1 January (Photo: Luc Citrinot)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #a71f31;\">Malaysia by 1 January at the latest?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Another South-East Asian country to announce its forthcoming reopening: Malaysia<\/strong>.
