Cambodia’s Angkor makes nearly $36 million revenue in the first 10 months

Cambodia’s famed Angkor Archaeological Park earned $35.98 million from ticket sales in the first 10 months of 2024, up 29 percent from $27.88 million over the same period last year, said an official report on Friday.

 

The UNESCO-listed Angkor attracted 774,203 international tourists during the January-October period this year, up 28.4 percent from 602,570 during the same period last year, according to the state-owned Angkor Enterprise’s report.

The top five source markets for the ancient site were the United States, Britain, France, South Korea and China.

The report said that in October this year alone, the site received 74,353 foreign holidaymakers and made $3.46 million in revenue, up 18 percent and 18.3 percent, respectively, compared to the same month last year.

Located in northwest Siem Reap province, the 401-square-km Angkor Archaeological Park is home to 91 ancient temples built from the 9th to the 13th centuries. It is the most popular tourist destination in the Southeast Asian country.

Ministry of Tourism’s Secretary of State and Spokesperson Top Sopheak said the Siem Reap Angkor International Airport, which opened to commercial operations in November 2023, has helped attract more international travelers to the site.

“The Cambodia-China people-to-people exchange year 2024 has also helped encourage more Chinese tourists to visit Cambodia and Angkor,” he told Xinhua.
