I think what we're dancing around is that Angkor Wat is Cambodian BRAND, i.e., an attraction owned by (ideally) the Cambodian people. It would make no sense to charge them to experience their own heritage.cambod wrote:Really? Pray tell.teamone wrote:I think they have a similar policy at the Angkor Wat etc.
(Again, I explained my opinion of that on another thread. Angkor Wat makes all their profit from foreigners *fair enough* and they let the locals in for FREE *making NO PROFIT off the locals*, whereas Sceme Land just adds a ridiculous price for white skin. HUGE DIFFERENCE!)
So NO, Angkor Wat does not have a similar policy....
Dreamland, on the other hand, is a privately-owned, for profit enterprise, attempting to gouge foreigners. They don't let Khmers in free, but their business model apparently has been adjusted to the 'screw whitey' paradigm. At the end of the day, outrage or not, it will succeed or fail on its own merits. I hope most people will see it as egregious and discriminatory, and stay away in droves. But they have a right to take a flyer on it...
No chance I'll be going soon.
