Revenue from ticket sales to foreigners visiting Cambodia's famed Angkor archaeological park reached 62.5 million US dollars in 2016, a 4.21-percent rise year-on-year.

The ancient site welcomed almost 2.2 million foreign tourists last year, up 4.63 percent year-on-year, the state-owned Angkor Enterprise said on Monday.

The largest sources of tourists to the site are China, South Korea and the United States.

Located in northwest Cambodia's Siem Reap province, the Angkor archaeological park, inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1992, is the kingdom's top tourist destination.

In August, the Angkor Enterprise announced that ticket prices for foreigners visiting the site would be increased from Feb. 1, 2017.

The entrance fee for a one-day visit to the site will be raised to 37 US dollars, from the current 20 US dollars, it said.

The price for a three-day visit will be increased to 62 US dollars, from the current 40 US dollars, and for a week-long visit, the ticket will cost 72 US dollars, from the current 60 US dollars.
