Angkor Archaeological Park in Cambodia continues to generate the bulk of tourism revenue for the country from its ticket sales, despite a hike in admission fee, as foreigners marvel at the iconic temple.

Local authorities managing the temple complex forecast the figures could touch US$117mil (RM491) by year end, with about 2.6 million foreigners visiting the Angkor Wat, located in Siem Reap.
