TOURISM industry representatives expressed concern Monday that visitors to the Kingdom could decrease as Bangkok, a key gateway to Cambodia, descended further into violence.
Government officials played down the impact of escalating violence in Thailand’s capital, where at least 36 people have died in the past four days, on Cambodia’s tourist trade.
However, anecdotal evidence from operators in the Kingdom show the number of international travellers visiting Cambodia has declined heavily in recent weeks.
