A total of 226,441 national and international visitors toured Cambodia in the third weekend of July.

The figure suggested a decline of about 20 percent compared to the previous weekend, according to a report of the Ministry of Tourism, explaining that the decrease is due mainly to the unfavorable weather conditions.

Of the tourists, 204,481 were national visitors and 21,960 were internal foreign tourists.

The most visited tourist destination was Battambang province, followed by the provinces of Kampot, Preah Sihanouk, Siem Reap, and Phnom Penh capital. Kep, Kandal, and Pursat provinces came in 6th, 7th and 8th respectively.

The Ministry of Tourism and the Provincial and Municipal Tourism Departments continued to enforce the implementation of safety standard operating procedures (SOPs) introduced by the ministry to prevent possible transmission of COVID-19.
