Tourism fears over Thai-Cambodia conflict

A number of tourism associations in Cambodia have warned that the ongoing border dispute and military conflict between Thailand and Cambodia could seriously harm the local tourism industry. Thai and Cambodian troops have exchanged fire for more than a week over a plot of land that surrounds the ancient Preah Vihear Temple. The temple itself is not directly disputed. But it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a major tourist attraction. And it's becoming an area that governments - including Australia's - now consider dangerous and they are warning people to stay away.
