Cambodia welcomed just around 20,000 airline passengers in May and June as the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation expects more arrivals for this month.

 

Its spokesman Chea Aun said on Thursday that the Kingdom normally welcomes 15,000-20,000 passengers a day on average.

 

From February to April, there were only about 6,000-7,000 passengers. This rose to 17,000 passengers in May and about 20,000 in June. He said he expects there will be around 25,000-30,000 passengers in July.

I wonder if their $3000 cash deposit has anything to do with that!

 

For reference and to put this in perspective. These airline passengers are business people, investors, property developers (for on-going projects), VIP/Diplomats, Scientific/Medical experts and repatriated Cambodians etc. Tourists are not arriving as NO tourist visas are being issued and strict entry requirements are in place.
