Fatal attack spurs concern about Cambodia tourism

Article Abstract:

The ambush of two American tourists and their guides in Cambodia has raised concerns anew regarding the safety of foreigners in the country. The attack has wide-ranging repercussions for the local tourist industry, which is a rich source of foreign exchange. Tourism has been on the rise in Angkor Wat and Siem Reap, two tourist areas near the site of the ambush, prior to the killings. Tourism officials insist, however, that the incident is an isolated one and that tourists are safe as long as they do not venture in dangerous areas.

Fishing in a shallow pool: Vietnam suffers shortage of skilled workers

Article Abstract:

There is still a shortage of Vietnamese managers and skilled technicians even though the number of people with such skills grow. Companies seeking to replace expatriate managers with local managers are fuelling demand and they cannot get executives from other former state-owned companies because former state-owned company managers lack the market skills that the foreign companies need badly.
