AKP Phnom Penh, January 01, 2026 -- Angkor Archaeological Park, Cambodia’s most iconic tourist destination, welcomed 955,131 foreign visitors in 2025, representing a year-on-year decrease of 6.7 percent, according to a report released by Angkor Enterprise on Jan. 1.

Revenue from entrance pass sales reached more than US$44.7 million, down 6.51 percent compared to the previous year, the report noted.

Entrance fees to the park are set at US$37 for a one-day pass, US$62 for a three-day pass, and US$72 for a seven-day pass.

The decline in foreign tourist arrivals is attributed mainly to border tensions with Thailand, which led to the temporary closure of all land-based border checkpoints.

Acknowledging that the clashes have negatively affected the tourism sector, the Ministry of Tourism has urged private-sector stakeholders to help promote Cambodia as a safe destination for international travellers.

In response, the Ministry has launched a campaign to reassure global markets that Cambodia’s major tourist hubs, including Siem Reap province, home to the world-renowned Angkor Archaeological Park, remain peaceful, secure, and fully operational.

Located in northwestern Siem Reap province, the 401-square-kilometre Angkor Archaeological Park is home to 91 ancient temples built between the ninth and 13th centuries.

The park was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1992 and remains the most visited tourist attraction in the Kingdom.
