Cambodia opens new airport terminal

Cambodia has recently inaugurated a new 32$ million passenger terminal at Phnom Penh's Pochentong airport. The opening was taken as Prime Minister Hun Sen aware of the tumbling in tourism industry due to the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome outbreak affecting Asia. The new passenger terminal is designed in a combination of traditional Khmer style with glass and metal architecture and able to handle two million passengers each year. Although Cambodia has no report of Sars case since the outbreak hit the southern China in November, tourism sector saw a decline by 30-40 percent of a number of tourists.
