Angkor Archaeological Park attracted 398,531 foreign tourists in the first quarter of 2025, generating $18.72 million in revenue from ticket sales — a 13.22% increase compared to the same period in 2024. This marks a 14.67% rise in foreign visitors, according to a press release issued by Angkor Enterprise on April 2.
Beyond Angkor, the enterprise earned an additional $1.08 million from foreign tourists visiting other popular sites in Siem Reap province, including Koh Ker Temple, Beng Mealea Temple, Phnom Kbal Spean, and from boat tickets at the Chong Kneas Port.
Established in 2016, Angkor Enterprise operates as a public administrative body under the technical supervision of the Ministry of Tourism and the financial oversight of the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
Ticket prices remain at $37 for a one-day pass, $62 for a three-day pass, and $72 for a seven-day pass.
Khiev Thy, president of the Angkor Tourist Guides Association, noted on April 3 that the 2024–2025 high season — spanning from October to early April — saw a significant rise in foreign tourist numbers compared to previous years. However, he observed a steady decline in arrivals since March as the low season approaches. He added that the current figures, while promising, still fall short of pre-pandemic levels.
Looking ahead, Angkor Enterprise director-general Ly Se had earlier projected that total ticket sales for 2025 could increase by 25–30% compared to 2024.
To enhance convenience for visitors, Angkor Enterprise has rolled out automated ticket vending machines at three key locations: the Angkor Enterprise office, Angkor Wat Pavilion, and the Heritage Walk Market. These machines currently issue only one-day passes, while three- and seven-day tickets must still be purchased at the main sales center.
In 2024, Angkor Archaeological Park welcomed 1.02 million foreign tourists, generating nearly $48 million — a 28% increase over 2023.
