Cambodia's tourism income to surpass 1.3 bln USD
Cambodia expects to harvest 1.3 billion U.S. dollars from its tourism sector in 2006, the Jianhua Daily on Thursday quoted Deputy Prime Minister Sok An as saying.
More and more visitors are coming into the kingdom, which will bring the sector's income to a record high of 1.3 billion U.S. dollars, in comparison with last year's total of one billion U.S. dollars, said Sok An, while inaugurating the Angkor Coex building in Siem Reap on Wednesday.
From January to October this year, Cambodia received 1,322,306 visitors, around 300,000 of whom are from South Korea, 148,672 from China, 151,958 from ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asia Nations) countries and 70,875 from Japan, he said.
Cambodia has become one of the region's most favorite travel destinations, mainly because its consumption level is not so high, he added.
Tourism and garment production are the two major foreign currency earners for Cambodia.

Folk! This is what I had been saying before! Tourism bring Cambodai around $700 million dollars a year back then and now tourism will bring $1.3 billion a years! If AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave puppet government can't even manage Cambodian tourism money and how can they manage the billion and billion of dollar from black gold?
Cambodian people are falling deeper into poverty? Come on!
AH SOK KHUN Vietcong slave middleman is making all the fucken money and nothing left for Cambodian people!
All these mother fuckers are asking for war!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11:29 Right on the target. These CPP are asking for war. May be that's what ineed to get rid of these corrupted CPP people. The innocent will die anyway. May be war is worthed fighting for. You may have a 50/50 chance of survival comparing to now you let Ah! Sen Vietcong kill you without resistance. I'm not promoting war because it cause more lives. However, if we let the trend continue this way, Cambodia and her people will be finish one day like Champa or Khmer Krom. What does everyone think?
This CPP gov't are pushing people to the corner. I personally don't want another revolution in Cambodia to happen in Cambodia. Cambodians have been suffering so much already but what are the options? What are they expecting from Cambodian people? Remaining being mistreated, continuing the suffering and letting all those stupid leaders destroying the country? Letting no hope for the people?
Billions of dollars pouring in, but who built and who ran all those resorts for the tourist?
If Khmers don't owe or build or run those places, we won't get any, except may be smaller taxes and fees. Who is the master of our government today? Those money probably went all the way to their bank.
Oil money? All of you probably right. Did you hear those governments or King and his cabinet saying anything or consult anyone about what to do with it?
Not a word. All secrets are opt to no good.
