Cambodia surges ahead of Thailand, Japan, and South Korea in 2026 as Chinese tourists flock to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, fueled by a 41.5% rise in arrivals to 1.2 million in 2025 despite overall international declines. A pilot visa-exemption program from mid-June to mid-October allows Chinese citizens, including those from Hong Kong and Macau, 14-day stays, boosting cultural heritage visits to Angkor Wat.
