Cambodia is raw, alive, harsh, beautiful and challenging, never taking you too far from a feeling that you’re almost a part of history in the making, not merely an observer.
Torn by a decade of civil war, Cambodia has only recently experienced peace and is beginning to establish itself as an attractive tourist destination. As one of the poorest countries in the world, the country has relied heavily on tourism for its economic growth. The government of Cambodia has given priority to developing the country’s cultural and eco-tourism industries to facilitate economic development and help reduce the widespread poverty.
The main tourist attraction of Cambodia is the ancient archeological ruins of Angkor, a World Heritage Site in Siem Reap. However, the natural beauty of this country extends beyond Angkor and includes virgin forests, waterfalls, and remote hilltribe villages in the north provinces like Ratanakiri, Kratie, Kambong Thom, Kambong Cham and Preah Vihear or further to the south with the Tatai in Koh Kong, making Cambdoia is a promising adventure and ecotourism destination.
The southern region’s coastline is regaining popularity for its white sand beaches in Sihanoukville and surrounding historical sites. You can also enjoy the fading glory of colonial cities like Battambang and Phnom Penh.The eccentric capital city of Phnom Penh is re-establishing itself as the business and social hub of the country.

Tourism is travel for pleasure or business; also the theory and practice of touring, the business of attracting, accommodating, and entertaining tourists, and the business of operating tours. Tourism may be international, or within the traveller’s country. The World Tourism Organization defines tourism more generally, in terms which go “beyond the common perception of tourism as being limited to holiday activity only”, as people “traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes”.
Tourism can be domestic or international, and international tourism has both incoming and outgoing implications on a country’s balance of payments. Today, tourism is a major source of income for many countries, and affects the economy of both the source and host countries, in some cases being of vital importance.
