via Xinhua, 22 August 2020: 1.45 million tourists here mean in all of Cambodia, not inside the Angkor park.

Some 1.45 million domestic and foreign tourists traveling in Cambodia during the five-day holiday despite ongoing COVID-19 threat, according to a Tourism Ministry’s report on Saturday.

“Among them are 1.44 million domestic tourists and 14,148 foreign tourists,” the report said.

The Southeast Asian nation celebrated the holiday from Monday to Friday in lieu of the Khmer New Year holiday in April that was postponed due to the onset of COVID-19.

The kingdom’s main tourist destinations are the famed Angkor Archeological Park in northwestern Siem Reap province, the 440-km coastline stretching over four southwestern provinces, and the eco-tourism sites in northeastern provinces.
