Almost 300,000 national and international tourists were recorded across the country during the first week of July, said the Ministry of Tourism in a report released on Tuesday.
Of the registered number, the source pointed out, 250,887 were national tourists and 36,072 were foreign visitors.
The most visited destination during the said period was Preah Sihanouk coastal province, followed by Battambang province, Phnom Penh capital, the coastal province of Kampot, Siem Reap cultural province, and Kandal province.
In the first six months of this year, the Kingdom has welcomed some 2.57 million international visitors, a skyrocket increase of 409 percent from 506,762 over the same period in 2022, the ministry underlined recently.
Tourism is one of the four pillars supporting Cambodia’s economy, in addition to garment export, agriculture and construction and real estate.
