Chinese tourists again topped the list of foreign visitors to Cambodia during the first nine months of this year, with the Ministry of Tourism on Wednesday reporting a 30 per cent increase on the same period last year.
The Kingdom received 4.81 million international tourists in that period, a 10 per cent increase on last year. A total of 1.86 million Chinese accounted for 38.7 per cent of all foreign tourists, according to the ministry’s monthly report.
Vietnamese tourists ranked second, with a total of 63,700 visitors, up 9.1 per cent, while the number of Thai visitors was recorded at 28,100 – an increase of 22.4 per cent.
Ministry of Tourism spokesman Top Sopheak told The Post that the large number of Chinese tourists travelling to Cambodia was a key contributor to the industry’s growth, with tourist-friendly Siem Reap experiencing a slight dip in the number of foreign visitors.
“The growth is consistent with the ministry’s forecast of 6.6 million international tourists this year,” he said, noting that the number of visitors from other Asian countries such as Korea and Laos had fallen in the period.
Around 3.39 million tourists arrived in Cambodia by air, up 14.7 per cent on last year, with two of the Kingdom’s three international airports recording increases in arrivals.
Phnom Penh International Airport received 12.7 per cent more passengers over the period, while Sihanoukville International Airport recorded a 308 per cent increase.
However, arrivals at Siem Reap International Airport dropped by 10.9 per cent when compared to the same period last year.

Shouldn't it be higher (edit, or lower depending on definitions: like down by 70-90% in March??)
PHNOM PENH, May 4 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia received 1.15 million international visitors during the first quarter (Q1) of 2020, down 38.5 percent due to the impact of COVID-19, according to the latest report released by the Ministry of Tourism on Monday.
China, Vietnam, Thailand, the United States and South Korea were the largest sources of foreign tourists to the Southeast Asian country during the January-March period this year, the report said.
In March alone, Cambodia got 223,400 foreign tourists, a decrease of 65 percent over the same month last year, it added.
The sharp decline in foreign tourists to Cambodia was due to the COVID-19 pandemic that forced the country to ban the entry of foreign travelers from the United States, Italy, Germany, Spain, France and Iran since mid-March and to impose entry restrictions for all foreign travelers since late March.
Cambodia has so far recorded a total of 122 confirmed cases of the COVID-19, with 120 patients cured, Health Minister Mam Bunheng said in a press conference here on Monday.
He said although the kingdom had detected no new COVID-19 positive cases for the last three weeks, the risk of new infections remains high given the fact that some countries in the region and in the world are still being hit hard by the virus.
The minister urged people to remain extra-vigilant, encouraging them to wear face masks, to wash hands with alcohol or antibacterial hand gel frequently, and to avoid mass gatherings.

PHNOM PENH, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia has attracted 1.22 million foreign visitors during the first eight months of 2020, down 72 percent from 4.36 million over the same period last year, said the latest report released by the Ministry of Tourism on Wednesday.
China, Thailand and Vietnam were the largest sources of foreign travelers to Cambodia during the January-August period this year, the report said.
It added that some 292,303 Chinese, 182,501 Thais and 180,095 Vietnamese came to the kingdom during the first eight months of this year, down 83 percent, 22 percent and 68 percent, respectively compared to the same period last year.
In August, Cambodia received only 23,028 foreign visitors, a 95.5-percent decline from 519,502 over the same month last year, the report said.
The remarkable drop was due to the COVID-19 pandemic and entry restrictions imposed for all foreign travelers since March.
Tourism Minister Thong Khon projected that the Southeast Asian country could lose approximately 3 billion U.S. dollars in tourism revenue this year due to the slump in international tourist arrivals.
