According to a report from Angkor Enterprise, on 4 December 2024, American tourists ranked first among nearly 400,000 international visitors to the Angkor Archaeological Park.
In the first 11 months of 2024, 898,339 tourists purchased tickets to Angkor Archaeological Park, an increase of 28.33 percent compared to the same period in 2023. This generated nearly $42 million in revenue.
Cambodia received the most visitors from the United States, with 92,841, an increase of 10.33 percent. British tourists ranked second with 77,446 visitors, an increase of 8.62 per cent, followed by visitors from Australia with 72,399, and China in fourth place with 71,176. South Korea ranked fifth with 65,885 tourists.
Ly Se, Director General of the Angkor Enterprise, stated that the increase in international tourists is attributed to the cooperation between the government and the private sector in promoting Cambodia’s major tourist destinations, particularly the peace factor, which has encouraged many international tourists to visit Cambodia.
Ly Se added that before the COVID-19 outbreak, the number of tourists from the United States, Europe, and Australia were similar. However, the number of tourists from Asia appears lower due to the economic impact in some countries.
Currently, ticket prices for the Angkor Archaeological Park are divided into three categories one-day tickets cost $37, three-day tickets cost $62 (valid for 10 days), and seven-day tickets cost $72 (valid for 30 days).
The number of international tourists purchasing three-day and seven-day tickets increased by more than 40 per cent in October, November, and December 2024.Fresh News
