Visa, the global payments technology company, announced on Saturday its credit and debit cards will now be accepted at Angkor Wat, one of world’s most popular tourist destinations, to drive tourism and increase the shift from cash to electronic payments in Cambodia. Angkor Wat is one of the largest religious monuments ever constructed and receives more than two million international visitors each year, according to the Ministry of Tourism Cambodia.

 

“To further demonstrate its commitment to expanding electronic payments across the country, Visa signed a memorandum of understanding with Angkor Enterprise to promote tourism to Angkor Wat and Cambodia, and Optistech Co. Ltd. as the IT solution vendor,” stated a Visa press release. “As part of the agreement, Visa will be offering a 3 percent discount on admission tickets to Angkor Wat purchased using Visa cards from October until the end of November 2017,” the press release added.

 

Visa stated that its cardholders would also be able to enjoy discounts at 50 selected merchants in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap covering dining, shopping, spa and wellness, and lodging. “We are delighted to collaborate with Angkor Enterprise and its acquiring bank Acleda to launch Visa card acceptance at Angkor Wat ticket booths providing visitors with a faster, secure and more convenient payment experience,” said Sean Preston, Visa’s country manager for Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.
