Cambodian tourist attraction Angkor sees 98.8% drop on year in foreign visitors in Q1; rice export also down 33% on year in Q1

Cambodia’s famed Angkor Archeological Park received 4,482 foreign visitors in the first quarter of 2021, down 98.8 per cent from 383,663 over the same period last year, confirmed a statement.

The ancient park made a gross revenue of US$185,079 from ticket sales during the January-March period this year, also down 98.9 per cent from 17.9 million dollars over the same period last year, said the state-owned Angkor Enterprise’s statement.

The huge slump was due to the Covid-19 pandemic that has forced the Southeast Asian nation to impose entry restrictions for all foreign travelers since March last year.
