Siem Reap ranked one of world's best travel spots


25 Mar 2015

Siem Reap has been placed second among the world’s top 25 travel destinations in 2015, jumping seven places from last year’s ranking, as judged by leading online travel site TripAdvisor.

The site’s Travelers’ Choice awards are based on an algorithm that takes into account reviews of hotels, restaurants and tourism sites in a city. Marrakech of Morocco stood at the top on the list of global destinations, followed by Siem Reap.

In early February, Siem Reap hosted the first World Conference on Tourism and Culture, where representatives from 99 countries gathered to promote the link between culture and tourism. Cambodia welcomed 4.5 millions foreign tourists in 2014, up 7% compared with 2013. Siem Reap alone received 2.3 millions foreign tourists, up more than 5% in 2014.
