The European Council on Tourism and Trade (ECTT) named Cambodia as the “World’s Best Tourism Destination” for 2016 at its annual general assembly this week, marking the first time the country has received the prestigious award.
The Kingdom was selected from a field of 30 countries that entered the annual tourism award competition, taking top spot on account of its “rich cultural and historical legacy” and natural beauty.
Special mention was made of its well-preserved antiquities, including the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Angkor Wat and Preah Vihear temple. It also received praise for its 23 protected areas, which “[give] tourists access to outstanding and pristine nature”.
Last year's winner of the same award was . . . . ummm . . Ethiopia. I'm going to back South Sudan or Yemen for the 2017 prize.

I think that's really irresponsible on the part of the Europeans. Do they actually travel to the destinations they laud?
On the Cambodian side, awards like this undoubtedly reinforce the laisse faire attitude to preservation of temples, beaches and forests.

I agree with Cambodia being a Top Tourism Destination. Maybe some people need to remove the jaded/cynical expat glasses sometimes.
And Ethiopia is stunningly beautiful, as are the women.

The last time you guys were in Somalia birdwatching (black hawks) traffic was horrendous and prices were high. Also, the US govt doesn't support nations who allow dvd piracy...

I need a break somewhere, Ethiopia sounds just fine.
But how the fuck to get there from here? Qatar Air and then direct from there?
You mustn't carry certain substances if going through Qatar. Any other route?
