via Xinhua, 21 June 2023: As we’ve seen, tourist numbers at the Angkor Archaeological Park are still not near pre-pandemic levels.
The number of international tourists to Cambodia is predicted to surpass the pre-COVID-19 pandemic level in 2025, the country’s Tourism Minister Thong Khon said on Wednesday.
Speaking at a bi-annual conference of the Ministry of Tourism in Phnom Penh, Khon said the kingdom received some 2.16 million foreign visitors during the first five months of 2023, a year-on-year increase of 530 percent.
“Based on this figure, we hope to receive up to 4.6 million international tourists in 2023 and 7 million in 2025 or 2026,” he said.
