Tourism revenue increase at Angkor: Cambodia will not receive a single riel from this increase, it will all go to Sok Kong's pocket

Tourism revenue increasing at Angkor Temple complex in Cambodia

Revenue from tickets sales at Cambodia's Angkor Archeological Park increased by a third in the first half of this year and foreign visitors to the country are up 20 percent compared with the same period last year, the Cambodia Daily newspaper reported Friday.

Bun Narith, director general of the Apsara Authority, which manages Angkor, said that ticket sales as of the end of June reached about 16 million U.S. dollars, a 33 percent jump from the same period in 2006, the newspaper said.

The revenue from tickets is increasing, he said, adding that tourists from Asian counties such as China, Japan and South Korea have made up the largest portion of the increase.

Meanwhile, Cambodian Tourism Minister Thong Khon said the boost in tourism is happening across the country.

He said that as of June, tourism across the country was up 20 percent from the same period last year.

The divide in tourism numbers between the low season, from June to October, and the high season, from November to May, has continued to narrow every year, he added.

Ankor Wat is the Pride, the Hertage of all Cambodians, the life and the souls our people and nation. The product of Cambodians+the Khmer.

Therefore, whatever comes from Angkor Wat must be served the Cambodians, but not the foriegner, Youn Sok KONG.

We must take back now.

2. Oil and gas
3. Passport and national documents
4. Cambodian infrastructures such as road, food and vehicles...

Cambodian King Sihamoni is the quietest King in Cambodian history on Cambodian political issues! He never says anything at all even dealing with serious issue of monk conducts and religion!

Article 4:
The motto of the Kingdom of Cambodia is: "Nation, Religion, and King".

When Cambodian King was under the French administration, the Cambodian King never says anything and let the French do all the talking! It is now the same under the Vietcong puppet government and Cambodian King never says anything and let the Vietcong slaves do all the talking!

The Vietcong puppet government will be overthrown!
