Obscure outlook for SE Asian tourism revival

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.

The statistics seem to suggest we have an incredibly efficient workforce/tourism industry compared to our neighbours!
or just that its 32% of next to nothing

More hookers in Thailand which might account for the additional 2.3% of the population.

Without any facts, I used to think Thailand was more dependent on tourism than Cambodia. So there you go...32%...that's a huge hit to Cambodia then.
100% agree with you. I think the numbers are skewed in Thailand because the areas where tourists go such as Phuket or Samui, just to name two, might have more of their local economy dependent on tourism than the country as A whole. Also I wonder how many ancillary industries are also being factored into this?
