This paper details the development, delivery and outcomes of a Masters course in Tourism Development that was delivered by the Royal University of Phnom Penh, with the assistance and support of the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and the University of Bologna, Italy (UNIBO). The paper will first outline the magnitude of tourism activity in Cambodia. This is then used as the context for developing a model for tourism education in Cambodia.
