PHNOM PENH, March 2, 2026 – Cambodia’s Angkor Archaeological Park generated $9.17 million in ticket revenue from international visitors in January–February 2026, down 30.32% from the same period a year earlier, according to data cited from the state-run Angkor Enterprise. The number of foreign visitors purchasing passes fell 32.45% to 188,885.
Angkor Enterprise also reported additional receipts from other managed sites over the same period, including Chong Kneas port ($191,172), Koh Ker ($65,295), Beng Mealea ($42,650), and Kbal Spean ($1,770).
Ticket prices remain $37 for a one-day pass, $62 for three days, and $72 for seven days, with entrance passes applied to international tourists.
Industry figures have pointed to a combination of external shocks and regional security concerns weighing on demand. The president of the Khmer Angkor Tour Guide Association told the Phnom Penh Post that geopolitical conflicts, slow global economic growth, border clashes, and issues linked to online gambling have contributed to weaker international arrivals since the second half of 2025.
Separately, Cambodia has introduced 2026 tax relief for eligible tourism businesses in Siem Reap province under an MEF prakas dated 30 January 2026, offering exemptions on certain monthly taxes (with exceptions) and other relief measures through the fiscal year, according to tax advisory summaries of the regulation.
Looking ahead, Cambodia is also expected to run a four-month visa-exemption pilot for Chinese tourists from June 15 to Oct. 15, 2026, allowing stays of up to 14 days, according to reporting that cited a Cambodian tourism ministry document.
