COVID-19 Impact on Phare Circus<\/strong><\/p>\n

Phare Circus performances were suspended 17 March by government decree due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. All international arrivals to Cambodia ceased shortly after. Tourism has evaporated. Hotels, restaurants, shops and entertainment venues have closed, some permanently, and jobs lost.<\/p>\n

At a time when so many in the community have lost their jobs, Phare Circus continues to provide employment and income for 100 staff and artists.<\/p>\n

When will performances resume at Phare Circus?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s a difficult question to answer at the moment. The circus depends on visitors from overseas. Although there are some positive developments, there are still travel restrictions in place that prevent overseas travelers from coming to Cambodia. We hope those will be lifted soon and airlines can resume flights to Cambodia. That’s when Phare Circus can resume performances.\u00a0 We’ll be ready!<\/p>\n

Phare Circus Reimagined<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While performances are suspended due to the pandemic, every team member is re-imagining guest experience. Everything we do is being looked at for ways to improve. The website and online booking are being enhanced. The welcoming process at the venue is being redesigned to be fast and efficient while keeping it safe. Health and safety procedures are being added throughout the venue. On-site staff are going through comprehensive training programs to better serve guests. Artists are practicing new techniques to add to performances. With an eye on the future, the whole Phare Circus experience is being reimagined for our valued audiences.<\/p>\n

I stand on my head to remind myself we must constantly look at things in a different way.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

SAFETY FIRST:<\/h2>\n

Health and safety are the top priority. In an earlier blog post, we shared the health and safety precautions already started at the beginning of the pandemic. The team has come up with a few additional measures for when performances resume.<\/p>\n
