Int’l tourist arrivals to Cambodia down 80 pct in 2020 due to COVID-19: minister

Cambodia received 1.31 million foreign visitors in 2020, down 80 percent from 6.6 million in the year before, Tourism Minister Thong Khon said on Wednesday.

The sharp decline was caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that forced the kingdom to impose entry restrictions for all foreign travelers since March last year, he said.
