Air France said it would operate Boeing 777 aircraft on the route, with a one-hour stopover in Bangkok. The new Paris-Phnom Penh route is part of Air France KLM's strategy to boost growth by adding 11 destinations this year. Tourism is a rapidly growing industry in Cambodia, and one of the four pillars of the economy along with agriculture, construction and garment manufacturing. Around 2.5 million people visited the country last year. Cambodia has strong ties to France, its former colonial power. It gained its independence in 1953 after 90 years of foreign rule as part of French Indochina, which also included Vietnam and Laos.
