The activity is attracting international visitors who try it and learn about traditional sap collection.
By taking part, visitors gain an enjoyable new experience and a deeper understanding of Cambodian livelihoods, traditions, customs and valuable cultural heritage. It creates opportunities for direct contact with local communities and appreciation of the importance of preserving ancestral occupations.
International visitors' participation also contributes to community tourism and increased local incomes.
