The update was shown in the latest report of the Ministry of Tourism made public this morning, highlighting a positive sign for Cambodian tourism recovery.

Svay Rieng province was crowned No. 1 as the most popular tourism destination during the said period, followed by Kandal and Preah Sihanouk provinces, it underlined.

Kratie, Siem Reap, Kampot, Pursat, Kep, and Banteay Meanchey provinces and Phnom Penh capital, are among the top ten destinations, the report added.

The Ministry of Tourism attributed the growth in the number of domestic visitors to the organisation of boat races by Kandal and Svay Reing provincial administrations.
