Cambodian government plans

The Cambodian government plans to build more roads for Cambodia travel tours linking Siem Reap to towns on or near the border with Thailand, including between Siem Reap and O'Smach, and between Siem Reap and Anlong Veng, he said. Siem Reap is a fast-growing Cambodia travel town that welcomed about 500,000 tourists in 2004, a year when Cambodia as a whole received 1 million tourists. The tourism minister estimated 35 percent growth last year and projected that by the year 2010, Cambodia will have 4 million tourists, about half of them traveling to Siem Reap. "On their Cambodia travel statistics, 50 percent of tourists choose Siem Reap. Therefore, the government is actively improving our infrastructure,'' he said.
