“This pilot reflects Good Return’s commitment to ensuring Cambodia’s tourism growth delivers real opportunities for womenled and small businesses. Through our partnership with Wing Bank and The Asia Foundation, and with support from Visa through Vee Together, we are using a targeted credit guarantee to help MSME) access finance, adopt digital payment solutions and participate more inclusively in the tourism economy. By enabling businesses to accept international card payments and build digital financial capability, this initiative is expected to support women-led MSMEs and help sustain jobs across key tourism cities.” - Bénigne du Parc, Program Director, Good Return

Tourism is one of the four pillars of Cambodia’s economy, generating an estimated $3.7 billion in revenue in 2025—an increase of three percent from the previous year—and welcoming approximately 5.57 million international visitors.

Through this partnership, Wing Bank will allocate up to USD 600,000 in loan assistance to tourism‑related MSMEs, key contributors to the sector’s growth. Good Return will provide loan guarantees for eligible businesses, enabling easier and more secure access to financing.

This collaboration is part of Visa’s Digitally Inclusive Commerce Ecosystem (DICE) initiative, implemented with the participation of Cambodia’s Ministry of Tourism, Wing Bank, Good Return, Visa, and The Asia Foundation. As part of the program, The Asia Foundation will deliver digital financial literacy training to MSMEs to help them use capital effectively for business expansion.

Cambodia is home to approximately 753,000 MSMEs, employing nearly 3 million people—60% of them women—and contributing an estimated 63% of the nation’s GDP.
