Cambodia has seen a 13 per cent increase in tourists during the first seven months of 2010, one of only five ASEAN countries to post growth during the period..” Over 1.4 million tourists entered Cambodia in 2010 to the end of July, an annualised improvement of 13.9 per cent, according to a Ministry of Tourism report.

The increase makes it one of only a handful of ASEAN countries to post rising tourism figures, alongside Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Laos. The Kingdom of Cambodia had the potential to become and even larger draw for regional visitors, according to tourism minister Thong Khon.

“We have the potential of a huge and great culture which can be used to attract an increasing number of tourists in the future,” he said, before announcing that the 2011 ASEAN Tourism Forum would be held in Phnom Penh in January. ASEAN was an important destination for foreign tourists, and Cambodia was becoming increasingly attractive for international tourists, he added.
