The APSARA Authority and The Secretariat of the National Committee for Coordination of Information and Public Works (NCDC) have categorically refuted a false report by the discredited Cambodia Daily Khmer new outlet, that Cambodia’s iconic Angkor complex is dangerous for tourists.

The Secretariat of the National Committee for Coordination of Information and Public Works issued a statement following a defamatory story entitled ‘APSARA Authority official reveals that Cambodia is becoming a place to commit horrific thefts against tourists’ published by Cambodia Daily Khmer , that claimed that the Apsara authority workers are working in collusion with criminals to defraud tourists, saying ‘…The Cambodia Daily rebel group is always broadcasting exaggerated information distorts the truth with malicious intent, disrupts public order and pollutes society, as well as slanders the reputation and efforts of the Royal Government.

Therefore, people, please do not be confused, please stop sharing and please stop following the broadcast of this rebel group.’

In addition, the APSARA Authority  issued a statement (below), saying that ‘The APSARA Authority would like to inform the public as follows:

1- Under the wise and energetic guidance of the Prime Minister, all institutions have been working together to achieve the goal of promoting tourism, especially considering hospitality, well-being, safety and security
national and international tourists.
2- APSARA Authority has organized hospitality and first aid training for travel agencies to enable them to have sufficient resources to rescue tourists in case of accident.

4- APSARA Authority, with the good cooperation of the tourism police, the heritage protection police always found some objects or items that tourists forgot or dropped and returned the objects or items to tourists. In case the owner or item has not been found, the APSARA Authority has also announced on social media or collaborated with the private sector on tourism to find more owners.
APSARA Authority has never received any complaints from tourists about fraud or theft at Angkor.
6. The APSARA Authority completely rejects the unprofessional broadcast of this extremist political propaganda tool, The Cambodia Daily, which distorts the facts, incites discrimination, deception that will cause false information in society.

Some 521,950 foreign tourists visit Angkor Park in the first semester

The famed Angkor Archaeological Park, Cambodia’s most attractive tourism landscape, received 521,950 foreign tourists in the first semester of 2024, a year-on-year increase of 35 percent.

The figures, shared by the Angkor Enterprise, revealed a substantial increase in revenue from the entrance pass sales, which rose by 36 percent to a significant $24.35 million.

The source pointed out that in June alone, the enterprise earned a total income of $2.15 million, up 18 percent from June 2023. 49,692 registered foreign tourists, a 20 percent year-on-year rise, the enterprise’s source said.

The entrance fee for a one-day visit to the park is $37, a three-day visit costs $62, and a week-long visit is $72.

Situated in Siem Reap northwest province, the 401-square-km Angkor Archaeological Park, a testament to the Khmer Empire’s rich history, is home to 91 ancient temples, which had been built from the 9th to the 13th centuries.

The park, inscribed on the World Heritage List of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) in 1992, is the most popular tourist destination in the Kingdom.

According to the same report, Koh Ker – the Khmer Empire’s sole capital from 928 to 944 CE and listed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in September 2023, welcomed 10,828 foreign visitors during the first half of this year, generating $162,420 as income from entrance pass sales.

The Royal Government has formed the Cambodia Tourism Marketing and Promotion Board, composed of representatives from the public and private sectors, to promote Cambodia’s tourism to the international markets.

In 2023, more than 790,000 foreign tourists bought entrance passes to visit Angkor, generating $37 million as income, an increase of 222 percent compared to a year before.AKP
