Siem Reap: Cambodia has officially launched e-ticket vending machines to facilitate direct ticket purchases for tourists visiting the Angkor Archaeological Park. In a move aimed at enhancing visitor convenience and improving the efficiency of revenue collection, the introduction of these machines marks a significant step forward for one of Cambodia’s top tourist attractions.
According to Namibia Press Agency, a total of 15 e-ticket machines have been installed at strategic locations, including six machines each at the Angkor Enterprise’s ticket office and the Angkor Parvis hospitality complex, along with three additional machines at the Heritage Walk shopping mall. This initiative is part of the broader efforts to streamline the ticket purchasing process for the millions of tourists who visit the park annually.
Speaking at the launch event, Deputy Prime Minister Neth Savoeun highlighted the importance of these machines in strengthening governmental revenue collection. Despite the introduction of these self-service options, visitors still have the opportunity to purchase tickets through the Angkor Enterprise website, mobile app, or directly at the ticket office.
The Angkor Archaeological Park, spanning 401 square kilometers, is home to 91 ancient temples dating from the ninth to the 13th centuries. As Cambodia’s most popular tourist destination, the park attracted 1.02 million international tourists in 2024, resulting in gross revenue of 47.8 million U.S. dollars from ticket sales. The entrance fees for visiting Angkor are set at 37 dollars for a one-day visit, 62 dollars for a three-day visit, and 72 dollars for a week-long visit.
