via various sources, 01 November 2023: Angkor Park witnessed a 300% revenue surge in 2023, with over 600,000 international tourists contributing to nearly $28 million in ticket sales. This dramatic increase, boosted by eased travel restrictions, yet facing new financial challenges for travelers, reflects a bright outlook for Cambodia’s heritage tourism.
According to its November 1 report, 602,570 foreign tourists visited the park between January and October, resulting in ticket sales totalling $27.88 million. Compared to the same period the previous year, there was a 255.82% increase in visitors and a 312.35% rise in revenue.
The enterprise also amassed $590,948 from ticket sales at Koh Ker archaeological site – another UNESCO World Heritage Site and a capital of the Khmer Empire between 921 and 944 CE, located in neighbouring Preah Vihear province – and Chong Kneas floating village in Siem Reap, with values of $149,010 and $441,938, respectively.
