via Khmer Times, 16 March 2021: Can’t wait to return to Angkor and see all the results of their maintenance work.
Preservation and protection projects for Angkor Archeological Park are continuing operations, despite the devastating impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the tourism sector in Cambodia.
Apsara Authority spokesman Long Kosal told Khmer Times that: “During the pandemic, we have been implementing our mission for protection and preservation of Angkor Archeological Park and other heritage”.
The global and national outbreak of COVID-19 has made Angkor Archaeological Park very quiet, but preservation efforts remain ongoing, he said.
