Growing Sports Tourism in Cambodia

Minister of Tourism and chairman of the kingdom’s National Olympic Committee, Mr Thong Khon, said the race is one of the biggest annual tourist events in town and was vital in growing Cambodia’s sports-related tourism sector. He added,

International tourist arrivals in Cambodia have increased every year, especially in Siem Reap, a world-class tourist destination. Cambodia is developing Siem Reap and Angkor to become one of the world’s most attractive tourist destinations. We look forward to welcoming visitors from all over the world. We hope it will only be bigger next year.

There was a reroute of this year’s race course to the northern side of the Bayon Temple due to a clash with Prime Minister Hun Sen’s two-day prayer ceremony.
