Cambodia Leadership Review Launches Top 30 F&B and Hospitality 2025 Magazine
The special edition, produced in partnership with the International Business Chamber of Cambodia (IBC), is the second instalment in the magazine's Top 30 Leaders series—following the 2024 finance-focused issue. The new release reflects the growing prominence of Cambodia's hospitality industry as it enters a more sophisticated and globally connected phase.
"This edition turns its spotlight to the dynamic and rapidly evolving F&B and hospitality sectors—two pillars of Cambodia's post-pandemic recovery and international appeal," said Harrison White, Editor of Cambodia Leadership Review. "From luxury heritage hotels to purpose-driven distilleries, these leaders are redefining what hospitality means in Cambodia today."
Regional Growth and Sector Transformation
Cambodia's hospitality and tourism sectors have long straddled dual identities—welcoming both global luxury travelers and budget-conscious backpackers. However, with increased international investment, rising service standards, and a new wave of culinary creativity, the Kingdom is quickly catching up to regional peers such as Thailand and Vietnam.
"International hotel brands, award-winning distilleries, and upscale culinary concepts are reshaping the landscape—positioning Cambodia alongside its neighbours in terms of sophistication and innovation," Harrison added.
The featured leaders span a broad mix of roles—from general managers of five-star hotels to distillers, restaurateurs, and industry advocates—each contributing to the sector's growing maturity, sustainability, and global relevance.
Transparent Selection Process
The Top 30 list was curated by a panel of three independent judges from both CIR Media and IBC. Candidates were evaluated across four main criteria: impact, uniqueness, reach, and connection with the ecosystem. Judges considered how each individual contributed to Cambodia's F&B and hospitality industries through leadership, creativity, and engagement with local and international networks.
Full List of Top 30 F&B & Hospitality Leaders 2025:
Elevating the Industry
As Cambodia strives toward becoming an upper middle-income country by 2030, the role of experienced and visionary leaders becomes ever more important. The Top 30 F&B & Hospitality 2025 edition reflects a mix of global experience and local commitment—spotlighting those who are not only succeeding in business but also shaping the future of Cambodia's service economy.
"These leaders are helping Cambodia compete not just as a destination, but as a place to build, invest, and create," said Harrison.
The magazine is now available in both digital and print formats and will be distributed to stakeholders across Cambodia's business community, hospitality schools, and regional partners.

Spectacle in South Africa: Two Chery TIGGO9 Models Collide Head-On, Showing Flawless Safety Performance
JOHANNESBURG, Aug. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On August 20, two Chery TIGGO9 flagship SUVs performed a 50% offset frontal collision test at 50 km/h on a long, straight paved road in South Africa, like two flawless diamonds striking each other in a master's hand—only the hardest crystal can reveal another's inner strength; only the most advanced safety structure can truly test a vehicle's integrity. After impact, both TIGGO9 cabins remained fully intact with no deformation in the A-, B-, or C-pillars. All airbags—including those for the driver, front passenger, and knees—deployed instantly upon collision. Seatbelt pre-tensioners activated promptly, all doors could be opened normally, hazard lights turned on automatically, and no fuel leakage occurred. TIGGO9 body uses 85% high-strength steel, including 21% 1500MPa hot-formed steel in critical areas like the A- and B-pillars. Its front structure features dual aluminum crash beams with 85% cross-width coverage and six crash boxes that effectively absorb and disperse impact energy. The vehicle is also equipped with 10 airbags, including a 2060mm side curtain airbag that retains over 50% pressure for 6 seconds after deployment, and a center airbag between the front seats to reduce secondary impact risks. This test represents a pivotal milestone in Chery's global six-dimensional safety challenge, building on extreme-environment validations previously conducted in regions such as Indonesia and Mexico. As the first Chinese automaker to reach five million vehicle exports, Chery was also named once again to the Fortune Global 500 list just last month. Behind this "Double 500" accomplishment lies Chery's unwavering commitment to consistent global quality—no matter where its vehicles are driven, their fundamental safety structure remains as resilient and enduring as diamond. This dedication not only embodies the vision to "Let everyone enjoy five-star protection," but also honors the brand's core philosophy: "Safety, for Family." That same evening, TIGGO9 made its official debut in the South African market. The following day, Chery joined forces with UNICEF to launch the "Champion for Education in Africa" forum, initiating a collaborative effort to address educational challenges facing children across the region. As part of this commitment, plans were announced to fund the construction of Hope Primary Schools. This effort reinforces Chery's "In Africa, For Africa" ethos, extending its safety commitment from product technology to social responsibility.
