Cambodia Tourism 2020

Cambodia had received 1.26 million foreign visitors during the first 10 months of 2020, according to the latest report released by the Cambodian Ministry of Tourism. This figure represents a drop of 76 per cent from 5.29 million over the same period in 2019. COVID-19 has severely disrupted all tourism globally and Cambodia has not been issuing tourist visas since early in 2020 due to the outbreak. The largest sources of foreign travellers to the Kingdom during this period in 2020 were from China, Thailand, and Vietnam. Despite these figures, the Cambodia Ministry of Tourism stressed that Cambodia remains a world’s best tourism destination in 2020 according to the Khmer Times.
