AKP Phnom Penh, January 19, 2026 --  

The Ministry of Tourism (MoT) has reaffirmed that the Kingdom of Cambodia remains a safe, secure, and stable tourism destination for both national and international tourists.

The reaffirmation was made in the Notice of Response to Cambodia Travel Advisory issued by certain foreign missions in the Kingdom of Cambodia dated Jan. 19.

Regarding travel advisories to Cambodia and the recently published maps by foreign embassies accredited to Cambodia, regarding the previously disseminated information and map, these may have caused misunderstanding among the public and tourists, particularly international tourists, about the overall tourism safety situation in Cambodia, the ministry stated.

“Major tourism destinations, including Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Preah Sihanouk and other tourism sites, continue to operate normally and remain fully open to warmly welcome visitors, with safety and security duly ensured,” the ministry said. 

The ministry has always been open to cooperation and to providing tourism-related information and factual updates to ensure that disseminated information is accurate, balanced, and supportive of international tourists’ decision-making regarding their travel plans to Cambodia in a safe manner.

It called upon the public, foreign diplomatic missions in Cambodia, national and international media, tourists, and all relevant stakeholders to take note and to participate in disseminating information with a high sense of responsibility.
