Synopsis: The safety and well-being of all tourists is, and will always be, the nation’s highest priority, says Ministry of Tourism.
The Ministry of Tourism Friday has issued an announcement, reassuring the public and international community that the country remains a “safe and friendly welcoming destination” for tourists.
The announcement comes in the wake of a ceasefire agreement between Cambodia and Thailand that has officially taken effect, restoring peace and stability throughout the nation.
“The Ministry of Tourism of the Kingdom of Cambodia wishes to firmly reassure all the public, tourism associations, tour operators, private sectors, media, national-international tourists and relevant parties that Cambodia remains entirely safe and secure for tourism and travel through international connected flights and many land border crossing points,” read the statement.
Previously affected areas, including those near the Preah Vihear Temple, are now considered secure, the ministry emphasised.
All Cambodia’s popular tourist destinations are fully operational and safe for visitors, the ministry emphasised.
“All our breathtaking and scenery tourist sites, including the world heritage Angkor Wat temple, Phnom Penh, a vibrant capital, the white gold sand beach with blue turquoise sea water Preah Sihanouk province as well as stress-free and serenity Kampot and Kep coastal provinces, and other biodiversity and community-based eco-tourism northeastern provinces remain completely safe, accessible, and fully operational with our local people’s warm hospitality and caring nature,” it stated.
The ministry underlined that the Cambodian government has taken all necessary measures to ensure the safety and protection of tourists, with national and local authorities closely monitoring the situation and maintaining stability throughout the country.

Chhay Sivlin, President of the Cambodia Association of Travel Agents (CATA), lauded the proactive efforts made by the Ministry of Tourism.
Speaking to Khmer Times, Sivlin said, “The ministry’s proactive efforts reflect a significant rebound to the country’s tourism sector and economy, demonstrating renewed global confidence in Cambodia as a safe and attractive destination.”
Cambodia’s renowned Angkor Archaeological Park earned $28.6 million from ticket sales in the first seven months of 2025, a year-on-year increase of 5.3 percent, said an official report released on Friday.
The UNESCO-listed Angkor attracted 618,771 international tourists during the January-July period this year, a year-on-year rise of 5.8 percent, said the state-owned Angkor Enterprise’s report.
The ongoing “Green Season” campaign, designed by the Ministry of Tourism to promote Cambodia’s natural beauty and cultural richness during the rainy months, is also expected to contribute to year-round tourism growth.
