CAMBODIA BECOMES NO.1 TOURIST DESTINATION IN ASIA
According to World Bank, The Kingdom of Cambodia will enjoy a robust economic growth in 2016 of more than 7%, thanks in no small part to the recent growth in tourism sector.
Prime Minister of Cambodia-Academician Samdech HUN SEN had opted for a development based on tourism growth and obtained an incredible success as the Kingdom was elected as WORLD BEST TOURIST DESTINATION FOR 2016 and obtained a 6,9% growth according to World Bank.
The arrivals in the Kingdom are at a historic high in 2016.
In 2015 the numbers of tourists and investment has slow down, but in 2016 as the country was elected WORLD BEST TOURIST DESTINATION and H.E. Prime Minister of Cambodia – Samdech HUN SEN declared tourism as a priority, the situation has significantly turn around of staggering 26% increase in the numbers of tourism entering the country.
Radical tourism growth after the Kingdom of Cambodia was officialy recognised as WORLD BEST TOURIST DESTINATION FOR 2016
Phnom Penh arrivals, after the country was elected as FAVORITE CULTURAL DESTINATION, grow by 7% and Siem Reap arrivals where up by 11% after the previous month.
The challenges ahead are still there as the country needs to attract more airlines for direct flights in order to transform Cambodia from a seasonal destination to an all year/ all seasons destination.
Luu Meng, president of the Cambodian Hotel Association, said despite the importance of the Chinese market—which airlines have been increasingly tapping into—Cambodia also needs to focus on securing direct flights from other countries as well as promoting destinations outside Angkor Wat.
Cambodian tourism sector perfect development on 2016, has become a World Model on the occasion of World Tourism Day.
A model to be analysed and copied by countries around the world in order to obtain a health tourism industry and a to foster the national development via tourism and international cooperation.
No country in the world had ever registered a growth equally to that of Kingdom of Cambodia, with 26% increase in arrivals numbers in just two months after becoming WORLD BEST TOURIST DESTINATION.
If the Kingdom will succeed in keeping the momentum in the next months the tourism sector in the country can be a perfect world success story and example.
Let`s all wish to Cambodia a perfect ending for 2016!

CRAMA NATURA VREA SA REALIZEZE CELE MAI BUNE VINURI ALE ANULUI 2016
Este un adevar recunoscut ca vinul bun incepe din vie asa ca, odata cu inceputul sezonului de recoltare a strugurilor, ne-am indreptat spre taramurile Vrancei, spre cel mai cunoscut producator al regiunii: CASA PANCIU, creatorul celui mai bun vin al Romaniei in 2013/ 2014 si din nou in 2016.
Boabele de Feteasca Neagra atarna greu la CASA PANCIU
Cum vinurile vrancene de la CASA PANCIU au devenit deja de trei ani etalonul a tot ce are Romania mai de pret in domeniul vinurilor, am vrut sa aflam cum se anunta anul viticol 2016.
Prima veste buna de pe meleagurile vrancene apare imediat in vie: Feteasca neagra este foarte dulce si colorata, dar trebuie sa mai avem rabdare pana cand samburii se apropie de culoarea si gustul boabelor de cafea…atunci structura si aroma vor fi perfecte, ne asigura Daniel Guzu, creatorul miracolului numit CASA PANCIU.
Tot cu mandrie ne sunt prezentati ciorchinii de Sarba din care va iesi unul din vinurile fanion ale CASEI PANCIU: Sarba, vin cunoscut si recunoscut pentru prospetime si aroma.
Deja Sauvignon Blanc isi incepe lungul drum spre vinificare, promitand un an exceptional pentru vinurile albe si aromatizate care fac gloria CASEI PANCIU.
Daca se spune ca ochiul patronului ingrasa via, atunci la CASA PANCIU via trebuie sa fie foarte implinita, caci in perioada de foc a lunilor august septembrie, octombrie Daniel Guzu nu paraseste via fiind peste tot si supraveghiind totul de la taierea frunzelor pana la selectarea atenta a boabelor: „Focusul nostru e pe creșterea calității. Dacă facem cantitate, nu facem profit. Sunt prea mulți care fac mult. „Dacă mergi prin vie o să vedeți Sauvignonul că e tăiat în așa fel să nu obținem sub 10 t la hectar. La Fetească sub 7 t. Producția la hectar face diferența.
In forfota culesului gasim pe fiecare parcela cate 50 de oameni care sunt activi la tăiat, cules, incarcat, controlat calitatea etc. Acum, la ceasul culesului, numarul lor ajunge pe intreaga proprietate și la 300 de oameni harnici implicati in minunata opera de culegere a viei, toți veseli si plini de optimism si cazați în structuri de calitate construite special pentru muncitorii sezonieri.
Grija pentru vin inseamna si grija si pentru oamenii care il fac, cel putin aceasta este convingerea lui Daniel Guzu.
Degustarea minunatelor vinuri de la CASA PANCIU, licori alese care au cucerit intreaga lume si au fost incununate cu titlul de VINUL DIPLOMATILOR, vinul de reprezentare a Romaniei, a inceput cu un Rose exceptional, cules la maturitate deplina, care a entuziasmat prin vioiciune si puterea expresiei fiind un vin perfect pentru ocazii.
Incredibilul Cabernet Sauvignon vinificat in alb, proba a maiestriei creatorilor de vinuri de la CRAMA NATURA/CASA PANCIU a fost urmatorul oferit la degustare incantand imediat.
Rose-ul DOMENIILE PANCIU si Sauvignon Blanc de la DOMENIILE PANCIU au demonstrat stabilitate si maturitate si o persistenta in calitate ce au impresionat.
Finalul a fost apoteotic cu un spumant Rose, care a demonstrat ceeea ce stiam de mult: la vinuri spumante CASA PANCIU poate preda lectii la multi creatori de sampanie sau prosecco, fiind un vin spumant de calitate europeana, ce depaseste multe vinuri spumante din Champagne.
Sauvignon-ul Blanc promite si promite un vin de calitate
La finalul calatoriei de degustare si informare in zona Vrancei putem spune ca: avem in CASA PANCIU un castigator de cursa lunga si un creator de vinuri perfecte, care va reprezenta tot ce are Romania mai bun in domeniul vinificatiei inca multa vreme de acum.
Comandati acum minunatele vinuri de la CRAMA NATURA si CASA PANCIU:
