Cambodia’s famed Angkor sees 37 pct drop in foreign tourists in first 2 months

via Xinhua, 03 March 2020: The drop is not unexpected, given the current Covid-19 situation, but tourist arrivals have also been falling the previous year which makes the situation worse.

Cambodia’s famed Angkor Archeological Park received 341,494 foreign tourists in the first two months of 2020, down 37 percent over the same period last year.

The ancient park made gross revenue of 16.2 million U.S. dollars from ticket sales during the January-February period this year, also down 35 percent over the same period last year, said the state-owned Angkor Enterprise in a statement.

The decline was due to the impact of the COVID-19.
