The number of foreign tourists visiting Cambodia reached 1.2 million in
the first three months of the year, an 8.2% increase compared with the same
period last year.
According to H.E. Thong Khon, the minister of tourism, the figures are
on target to meet the expected target of 4.8 million tourists by the end of
this year.
Nearly 75 % of foreign tourists visiting Cambodia come from
Asia-Pacific countries and the economy in those countries is doing well, so it
encourages people to travel abroad.
Cambodia earned more than $700 million from tourism revenues in the
first quarter of the year. Tourists from Vietnam remain the greatest number of
visitors to Cambodia, followed by China, South Korea, Laos and Japan.
