The country is expected to welcome one million international tourists and tally eight million domestic trips by the end of this year, according to new estimates from the tourism ministry – which have been met with mixed reactions amongst industry experts, who warn that many global factors may cast a cloud on the optimistic projections.
According to a Ministry of Tourism press release on the status of Cambodia’s tourism sector, the tourism situation is continuing to improve and is expected to return to pre-pandemic levels in 2023 for domestic trips, with 11 million anticipated, and 2025 for international tourists, with seven million expected by then.
