Angkor ticket sales reach $63.6mn in 2016
/ January 3, 2017
Ticket sales for the Angkor Archaeological Park near Siem Reap reached $63.6mn in 2016, up 4.2% compared to 2015, according to data released yesterday by the Angkor Institution, the park’s state-run ticketing agency. Last year marked the first year since the government took over ticket sales management from the private firm Sokimex that had operated it for 17 years. Ho Vandy, secretary-general of Cambodia’s National Tourism Alliance, said the ticket sales revenue figure for this year was slightly disappointing given the solid tourism growth witnessed in other ASEAN markets.
