However, the number of air arrivals fell by almost 20% compared with the same period last year.
Despite the decline, government officials remain confident in the tourism sector’s long-term recovery.
Tourism Minister Huot Hak said authorities are stepping up efforts to restore international arrivals while prioritizing sustainable development and improving the quality of tourism offerings, Khmer Times reported.
The ministry has strengthened tourism promotion efforts with the private sector, enhanced air connectivity, and supported improvements in service standards across the industry.
