The tourism sector has been the spearhead of Cambodia’s economic growth over the past decade, but will it be spared by the economic crisis which affects the Kingdom? The Cambodian Ministry of Tourism and representatives of the tourism industry show their optimism and claim they only fear, at worst, a slowdown in the frenzied growth which the sector went through since the end of the 1990s. Minister of Tourism Thong Khon recently told Ka-set that the number of tourists in January 2009 had “only” gone down by 2% compared to this time last year when 223,581 tourists, out of an annual total of 2.1 million, entered the Cambodian territory. Generally speaking for the year 2009, the Minister plans a growth rate situated between 0 and 2%, quoting predictions made by the World Tourism Organisation (WTO). However, small enterprises and those living on little jobs in that sector do not agree with the figures.

Number mentioned can be the correct one, if they counted the VN tourists(or maybe not tourists)...
VN should not be counted as tourist because they are our brother, Pouk Ah Scam Ranxy should be considered as Ah French Tourist.
