Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | Cambodia is endowed with numerous heritage sites that draw over six million foreign visitors annually. Currently tourism is overconcentrated in Siem Reap Province, which leads to imbalanced growth across provinces, and creates mounting pressure on the Siem Reap heritage sites. While there are heritage sites outside Siem Reap Province, when tourism visits are made they are often daytrips that start and end in tourist hubs. Despite proximity to heritage sties, the surrounding villages are barely visited, and villagers cannot participate in the tourist trade which is monopolized by outsider tour operators. |
