As of the end of July 2022, 520 hotels and guesthouses in Cambodia have reopened, while 190 others are still temporarily pausing their operations and the remaining 29 have been permanently closed.

According to the report of the Ministry of Tourism on 27 August, to date, there are a total of 739 hotels and accommodation services and 2,529 restaurants in Cambodia, of which more than 2,000 have reopened.

HE Top Sopheak, Secretary of State and Spokesman for the Ministry of Tourism, said that during the COVID-19 pandemic, Siem Reap was the most affected province, where about 90% of businesses were suspended and closed down.

To date, more than half of the businesses are not yet operational due to the small number of tourists.

“During the high season, we expect that the number of international tourists will increase significantly. Thus, more business will reopen,” said HE Top Sopheak.

As of 31 July this year, there were a total of nearly 8,000 tourism-related businesses in Cambodia. Among those, Siem Reap is home to over 1,196 businesses.
