Cambodia scoops awards in TripAdvisor Travelers Choice Awards
Angkor Wat has been voted the 12th best tourist attraction in the world, while a sunrise tour at the same spot has ranked the 4th best experience in the world. This is according to the prestigious 2024 TripAdvisor Travelers choice awards.
Trip Advisor is considered the foremost travel review site, with inclusion in their Travellers Choice Awards being seen as a coup for those chosen.
