- The rich cultural, historical and natural resources along the coasts-islands, the Tonle Sap-surrounding areas and the Mekong River region are competitive advantages in developing tourism with potential and opportunities, as well as other potentials related to Cambodia's tourism sector, which has seen remarkable growth in the past, with international tourists growing at an average rate of 12% per year and reaching a peak in 2019, when Cambodia received 6.6 million international tourists, a three-fold increase compared to more than ten years ago, and approximately 11.3 million domestic tourists traveled throughout the country. Approximately US$5 billion in tourism revenue has been injected into the national economy, contributing more than 13% of gross domestic product (GDP). The tourism sector has also created approximately 630,000 direct tourism jobs and tens of thousands more indirect jobs. In 2024, Cambodia received a total of 6.7 million international tourists, an increase of 23%, and approximately 22.5 million domestic tourists, an increase of 20%.
- Tourism will remain an important economic priority sector in creating job opportunities, occupations, income, and contributing to the achievement of the goals of the Pentagonal Strategy Phase 1, especially contributing to the achievement of Cambodia's vision of becoming an upper-middle-income country by 2030 and a high-income country by 2050.
