via Global Times, 18 December 2022:

Ministry of Tourism’s Secretary of State and Spokesman Top Sopheak said the number of international tourists to the Angkor has gradually recovered and in the first 11 months of 2022, the site received over 225,000 foreign tourists.

“Currently, the Angkor attracts between 1,800 and 2,000 foreign visitors per day, a significant rise from only 70 a day during the pandemic in the past two years,” he told Xinhua on Saturday.

However, the number was still low if compared to the pre-pandemic era, which recorded up to 9,000 international visitors to the Angkor a day, Sopheak said.
