PHNOM PENH, Jan 15 (Bernama) -- Cambodia's Angkor Wat Temple, one of the World Heritage Sites, received 2.06 million foreign visitors last year, up 28 percent compared to 1.61 million in a year earlier, China's Xinhua news agency said citing a tourism report released on Tuesday.
The top five countries visiting the country's largest cultural site are South Korea, Vietnam, China, Japan and Thailand, showed the report of the Siem Reap provincial tourism department.
The temple greeted 339,530 South Koreans last year, up 23 percent year-on-year; 220,050 Vietnamese, down 13 percent; 184,965 Chinese, up 51 percent; 134,630 Japanese, up nine percent; and 129, 660 Thais, up 153 percent.
Chhoeuy Chhorn, administration chief of Siem Reap provincial tourism department, attributed the remarkable rise of tourists to the temple to the country's full security and safety, more direct flight connections between Siem Reap City and other countries and broader tourism promotion.
"It is expected that foreign visitors to the temple could grow by another 15 percent this year," he told Xinhua via telephone.
Siem Reap's Angkor archeological park is situated about 315 kilometres northwest of Cambodian capital Phnom Penh.
An entrance fee to see the temple is US$20 a day for a foreigner, US$40 for a three-day visit and US$60 for a weeklong visit.
Tourism is one of the major four pillars supporting the Cambodian economy. The others are garment industry, agriculture and real estate.

We need to remove illegal Vietnamese guy Sok Kong out of Cambodia's the World Tourist Angkor Wat and Angkor Complex or Ruins.
This Vietnamese Sok Kong has no respected for the Khmer/Cambodia National Symbol because he has illegally done the business and taken the profits from illegal Angkor Wat Business disrespectfully. Hun Sen has not learned and understood that Angkor Wat is the Symbol of Khmer/Cambodia Nation and Kingship because he was cheated and told by illegal Vietnamese advisers, i.e., Sok Kong, telling Hun Sen that he would have made millions or billions of dollars for himself (Hun Sen) and Sok Kong has profited for himself from the World Most Famous (7 World Wonder) Angkor Wat tourists for more than 3 decades. The money (billions of dollars) from Angkor Wat tourists have not been benefiting to Khmer/Cambodian nation and Kingship and people of Cambodian.
It is time for Hun Sen to wake up and need to know it is wrong to have illegal Vietnamese business man Sok Kong to destroy the national symbol and flag of Khmer/Cambodia nation and people.
For examples, the U.S. is very sensitive about National Symbol and Flag as their respects. No one can not mess around with the U.S. Flag and Symbol of Nation.
Now, the illegal Vietnamese Sok Knog is just a illegal business man without proper education and respects for National Symbol and Flag of Cambodia/Khmer nation.
That is why we regard Vietnam and Vietnamese people like Sok Kong as thief and thieves for illegal profits and cheated the uneducated 5th grade leader Hun Sen was illegally installed by his Vietnamese masters in Hanoi including Sok Kong.
We need to file the lawsuits against Sok Kong who illegally involved these illegal business using Angkor Wat symbol on Khmer National Flag and Khmer Nation and People.
Sok Kong is the most stupid thief and illegal Vietnamese animal on earth without knowing how ugly and evil he is to these days or to this present.
That was Sok Kong and other his illegal Vietnamese opportunists like Sok An, Var Kim Hong, Keat Chhon, etc., involved illegally with Hun Sen and cheated Hun Sen for more than 3 decades.
Just for now and there will be more criticisms about Sok Kong and Hun Sen according to the Peace Agreement Accord in Paris 1991.

Vietnamese Sok Kong is nothing and garbage because he is not respected from all the people from around world. There are many people around the world who visited Angkor Wat are very disappointed with the Vietnamese thief Sok Kong because this idiot has no respects for Cambodian/Khmer Flag Symbol as Khmer/Cambodian National and Kingship. This Vietnamese guy Sok Kong is just a thief who illegally involved with illegally Vietnamese-installed PM Hun Sen to lead Cambodia for more 3 three decades. That is why this Vietnamese thief has been illegally getting rich by dumping Hun Sen to make profits for himself and his trashy and evil Vietnamese family under the control of Vietnamese masters in Hanoi militarily using secret Vietnamese military polices in Khmer/Cambodia Military Uniforms as their bodyguards.
So, let's destroy and remove Sok Kong out of Cambodia and let Sok Kong stay out of Angkor Wat, a national symbol of Khmer People, Nation or Country.
This is not right that this uneducated Vietnamese idiot/thief Sok Kong to operate business using Angkor Wat to make profits for himself and share profits with Hun Sen.
How many people wanted to own Angkor Wat park, but most of us did not have the capacity, the financing, the facility, the managing & planning system, how to manage, to protect and to develop the Angkor Wat Park.
We better let other people to do this job, who has all the possibility to take care of it, otherwise we only destroy all the temples area just for an ego and proud feeling.
Remember, that not only the Cambodian government abut the World Heritage Committee also have something to say and the right to make decision to chose someone, who has the capacity to manage the whole areas.
