Cambodia’s Tourism Earns US$3.63 Billion Revenue in 2024

NEWS: Cambodia’s tourism sector earned a total revenue of US$3.63 billion in 2024, up 17.8 percent from US$3.08 billion a year earlier, said a report from the Ministry of Tourism released on Jan. 31.

The Kingdom received 6.7 million international tourists last year, up 22.9 percent from 5.45 million in the year before, the report added.

This Southeast Asian country launched the 2024 Cambodia-China People-to-People Exchange Year last month, hoping that the initiative would be a catalyst for increased tourism and investments.

Thailand was the largest source of foreign tourists to the Kingdom in 2024, the report said, pointing out that the country welcomed 2.14 million Thai visitors last year, up 17.9 percent from 1.82 million in a year earlier.

Vietnamese and Chinese tourists ranked second and third of the country’s tourism market list with 1.34 million and 0.84 million, respectively.

Tourism is one of the four pillars supporting Cambodia’s economy. The country has four world heritage sites, namely the Angkor Archaeological Park in Siem Reap northwestern province, the Temple Zone of Sambor Prei Kuk in Kampong Thom central province, and the Temple of Preah Vihear and the Koh Ker archaeological site in Preah Vihear northern province.

Besides, it has a pristine coastline stretching in the length of about 450 km in four southwest provinces of Sihanoukville, Kampot, Kep and Koh Kong.

H.E. Huot Hak, Minister of Tourism, said that the ministry has set a strategic plan in targeting to attract up to 7.2 million or 7.5 million foreign tourists in 2025.

“The ministry will prioritise key tasks, including developing a detailed action plan, ensuring the plan is carried out effectively and responsibly, and continuously monitoring and assessing tourist arrivals, with the ambition to attract more foreign tourists to Cambodia,” he said.
