Over 860,000 people visited tourist attractions across Cambodia on the first day of the Khmer New Year.

The ministry said that of the 862,897 New Year revellers, 8,243 were foreign visitors residing in the country.

The ministry noted that a large number of people travelled on the first day of the Khmer New Year holiday this year -- higher than before the Covid-19 pandemic in 2019 when 816,469 revellers were recorded on the first day of the traditional New Year, an increase of 5.68 per cent. Officials have yet to provide figures for tourists at the four provinces that have been declared mask-optional by a recent government circular -- Preah Vihear, Stung Treng, Ratanakkiri and Mondulkiri.
