Tourism authorities in Siem Reap are anticipating that more than a million tourists will descend on the temple town for the Angkor Sangkran festival, the country’s biggest cultural attraction over the Khmer New Year holiday.

Chheuy Chhorn, deputy director of Siem Reap’s tourism department, said many local hotels were already booked solid for the four-day event, which runs from April 13 to 16 this year.

“Angkor Sangkran is the biggest event during Khmer New Year, and all activities will show off our culture and traditions,” he said. “It will attract a lot of tourists, both international and domestic, and they will have an enjoyable time participating in the event.”
