Tradition plays a huge role in Cambodian life. The people embrace their culture and this takes the form of festivals and special events. If you are enjoying Cambodia tour packages when there is something on the calendar, then there is a good chance that you will see it. Some events centre on the capital Phnom Penh but others are nationwide.
Cambodia’s popularity with tourists was really initiated by the backpackers, the younger generation in search of adventure and new destinations. Since that time, Cambodia has attracted a wider audience with annual numbers now in excess of 4 million, and rising. More and more people are enquiring about Cambodia holidays and talking to experts who can arrange Cambodia travel packages
Year by year, the number of tourists booking Cambodia travel packages is increasing but paying a visit to this fascinating country with its highlights such as Angkor is different from actually living in Cambodia and different again from working in Cambodia where it is necessary to comply with residency and working regulations.
Anyone that has ventured beyond Angkor Wat will know there is far more to Cambodia than just its temples, spectacular as they may be. Cycling through remote countryside strung with bamboo huts, paddy fields and sugar palms allows you to experience a country and a culture that remain refreshingly unblemished by tourism. Fingers crossed it stays that way.
Siem Reap city, also the capital of the province, is located in northwestern Cambodia and a must-visit destination for all visitors to the country, serving as the gateway to the Angkor Wat temple complex renowned all over the world. Siem Reap also contains a vibrant atmosphere with plentiful accommodations ranging from simpler guesthouses to five-star resorts, beautifully-aged colonial buildings, silk farms, markets, and much more.
