Cambodia tourism bounces back
Foreign tourist arrivals to Cambodia grew 15 percent in the first eight months of the year, compared to the same period of last year.
Tourism Ministry director general Tith Chan Tha said the industry was returning to heights experienced before the financial crisis, as ministry statistics showed 1,630,068 tourists visited Cambodia from January to August 2010, from 1,422,003 for the same period of last year.
“Political stability and a record of keeping tourists safe contributed to the growth,†he said.
Bretton Sciaroni, senior partner at law firm Sciaroni and Associates, said last week that although tourist numbers were recovering, many were spending less money than in previous years.
Tourists from Asia-Pacific made up 60 percent of arrivals, while about 20 percent were from the EU, and another 20 percent came from the rest of the world, according to the ministry’s latest data.
