Cambodia - Kingdom of Wonder
It's designed to demonstrate 3 key elements:
1. Cultural Attractions — a unique cultural heritage spanning more than a thousand years of history;
2. Natural Attractions — astonishing scenery with dense, unexplored mountains, forest, rivers, caves and waterfalls;
3. People and Traditions — Cambodians are extremely hospitable, resilient, welcoming and kind; smiles are heartfelt.
These are the elements, the essence of what Cambodia wants to project as a country, both locally and globally. The main tagline is
