Cambodia welcomed over 4.2 million international tourists in September. Starting in May, the number of international visitors showed an over 90% recovery, boosted by travelers from Thailand, Vietnam, and China.
Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, home to Angkor Wat were the top two destinations among foreign visitors, while domestic visitors enjoyed coastal zones, namely Preah Sihanouk.
