Is Siem Reap's tourism declining?

الخدمات منذ 4 يوم الإجابات: 5 • Sopheak C

I'm a licensed Angkor guide with 11 years of experience living in Siem Reap. I've noticed a decline in tourists, particularly backpackers and expats, and I'm concerned about the impact on the local economy. I've tried talking to locals and fellow guides, but I'd like to hear from others about their experiences and impressions of the current situation.

The recent increase in airfare from Europe has made it more expensive for travelers to visit Siem Reap, reducing their budget for local spending. As a result, destinations like Morocco or Tunisia may be more attractive options for now.

The recent crackdown on scams in Sihanoukville has had a devastating short-term impact on local businesses, as tourists who previously spent money in the town are no longer visiting. The closure of the land border between Cambodia and Thailand has exacerbated the situation, and it's unclear whether this is a temporary slump or a long-term trend. Siem Reap, which was still recovering from the effects of Covid, has also been affected by the Thai border conflict.
