While the number of international tourists was 6.20 million in 2018 and 6.6 million in 2019, it slumped to 1.31 million in 2020 and 196,495 in 2021 due to the adverse impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Cambodia expects to attract around five million international tourists this year. According to the ministry’s estimates, the number of foreign visitors to the country will reach seven million in 2025, surpassing the pre-COVID-19 pandemic figure in 2019.
