Multiple news reports write that tourist revenue for the Angkor temples is up significantly, due in no small part to the revised ticket pricing put into effect earlier this year.
Revenue from ticket sales to foreigners visiting Cambodia’s Angkor archeological park rose to 45.9 million U.S. dollars in the first five months of 2017, up 64 percent compared to the same period last year, according to an official report released on Thursday.
The ancient park welcomed 1.09 million international tourists during the January-May period this year, up 12 percent over the same period last year, said the report of the state-owned Angkor Enterprise.
