Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet said on Saturday that Angkor Wat has been ranked as Asia’s most attractive tourist destination by TripAdvisor.

The prime minister announced this in a text posted on his official social media platforms, with a TripAdvisor list of Asia’s top 20 tourist destinations.

Angkor Wat is one of the significant temples in the UNESCO-listed Angkor Archaeological Park in northwest Siem Reap province.

The 401-square-kilometre park is home to 91 ancient temples, which were built between the ninth and 13th centuries.

The ancient park, the most popular tourist destination in the Southeast Asian country, attracted a total of 618,771 international visitors in the first seven months of 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 5.8 per cent, according to a report from the state-owned Angkor Enterprise.

The site generated $28.6 million in revenue from ticket sales during the January-July period this year, also up 5.3 per cent year-over-year, the report added. Xinhua
