Major hotel brand shutters temporarily but labor dispute remains unresolved

 Cambojanews, Nov 25, 2020

The Le Meridien Angkor Hotel in Siem Reap will temporarily shut down for at least one year starting November 25, according to a hotel representative, even as workers continue to protest the termination of three hotel staff in July.

The hotel is the first major international hotel chain to shut its premises in Cambodia on account of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has severely affected global travel and tourist-reliant cities like Siem Reap. Simultaneously, workers at the hotel have protested the termination of three staffers who requested management to not cut salaries in July.

Sabreena Jacob, general manager at Le Meridien Angkor Hotel, confirmed Wednesday that the hotel had temporarily shut down operations for one year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had resulted in low demand.
