via Phnom Penh Post, 07 April 2020: A lull in tourism means time for sprucing up the Angkor Archaeological Park.
A team from the Apsara National Authority’s (ANA) Department of Conservation for the Angkor Archaeological Park and Archaeology Defence is continuing to design and repair infrastructure, street systems, parks, drainage systems, walkways, and renovating temples in Angkor to make the famous landmark even more attractive to tourists.
ANA spokesman Long Kosal told The Post on Monday that there is a lot of work that ANA authorities are currently doing, such as enhancing the beauty of the temples and their green spaces, and repairing and renovating the general infrastructure of the Angkor temples.
“We are doing a lot of work in these areas. We are also working on improving the water release systems in front of Angkor, planting trees, planting grass, and preparing water systems in the complex for green and dry months,” he said.
Kosal said much of the infrastructure and many kilometres of streets had already been repaired by ANA, including a lane for bicycles.
