Cambodia's Coast Sees Significant Drop in Tourists for Chinese New Year

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

It's going to be interesting as to what happens in the up and coming rainy season.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Well you don't get wet sitting in a casino.
What was interesting was the figures the govenrment released last week which i cannot bloody find now. there are about 90% male chinese workers in Snooky to 10% female whcih is undoubtedly partly reposible for the crime. Nothing like too much testoterone and too few women to up the punchup ratio. figures not looking too good this year according to this website

Preah Sihanouk Province Sees Increase in Tourist Arrivals During This Year’s Lunar New Year
ចេញផ្សាយ ថ្ងៃទី27 ខែមករា ឆ្នាំ2020

(Preah Sihanouk): The Preah Sihanouk Provincial Administration has announced that during the three days of Chinese New Year from January 24-26, 2020 the number of tourists visiting the province saw an increase after most Chinese nationals had left the Kingdom, compared to the same period of time in 2019.
Image
A report from the Preah Sihanouk Provincial Tourism Department shows that from January 24 to January 26, 2020, the province received 87,765 tourists, increased by 24.52%.
Image
The report also presents that there were 74,495 domestic visitors, an increase of 67.17% (44,560 tourists in 2019), while there were 13,270 foreign visitors, down 48.80% (25,920 arrivals in 2019).
Image
Sihanoukville International Airport welcomed approximately 41 flights, down 22 (63 flights in 2019).

It is worth noting that early this year, a large flock of Chinese nationals had left Cambodia following the government’s decision to ban online gambling for security and order reasons.
