The number of Chinese tourists visiting Cambodia grew by 46 percent last year as China leapfrogged Vietnam to become the top country of origin of visitors to the Kingdom, according the Ministry of Tourism’s annual report.

China sent 1.2 million visitors to Cambodia last year, accounting for more than 21 percent of the total 5.6 million international visitors. That put China well ahead of second-place Vietnam’s 835,335 visitors, Laos’ 502,219 and Thailand’s 394,934.http://www.phnompenhpost.com/business/spike-chinese-visitors-drives-tourism-boom
