via various sources: In 2023, Cambodia’s Angkor Archaeological Park experienced a remarkable surge in tourism, welcoming nearly 700,000 international visitors in the first 11 months, a 211% increase from the previous year. This influx generated $32.54 million in revenue, marking a 261% rise from the year before. The boost in tourism is partly attributed to the recently inaugurated Siem Reap Angkor International Airport, the largest in Southeast Asia with a 3,600-meter runway.
Cambodia’s famed Angkor Archaeological Park registered 699,996 foreign visitors during the first 11 months of 2023, up 211 percent from 225,191 over the same period last year, said a news release on Friday.
The ancient park earned 32.54 million U.S. dollars in revenue from ticket sales during the January-November period, up 261 percent from 9 million dollars year on year, according to the news release from the state-owned Angkor Enterprise.
In November alone, the Angkor welcomed 97,426 foreigners, making 4.66 million U.S. dollars in revenue, the statement added.
