Ticket revenue from Angkor monuments dropped by 80% year-on-year in 2020. What can tourist attractions do to recover losses?

Ticket revenue from the Angkor Wat monuments dropped by 80% year-on-year in 2020. This is because the tourism industry in various countries has been damaged in 2020 due to the impact of the new coronavirus. As a result, many places generate almost no revenue from ticket sales. The current international COVID-19 epidemic is still not optimistic, so tourist attractions can only recover part of their losses by attracting domestic tourists. Because many countries have adopted a closed approach, the purpose is not to allow their own country’s nationals to go abroad, and at the same time, they do not want foreign nationals to be able to enter the country. In this way, pathogens from one's own country will not be transmitted abroad, and at the same time, we do not want to have imported cases from foreign countries. In this situation, tourist attractions should reduce ticket prices or promote other industries to recover part of the losses.

Reducing tickets can attract more tourists to visit attractions. Although the effect of reducing tickets will not be particularly significant in attracting tourists. But it can also alleviate the current burden to a certain extent, but after all, this is not a long-term solution. For tourists, they prefer to be able to visit related attractions for free. Therefore, attractions can attract tourists for free and at the same time promote the development of other industries. There will be souvenir sales and related catering specialties near the attractions. This kind of industry can better cooperate with the scenic spots. Attractions with reduced prices or free attractions attract more tourists and thus increase the sales of these shops.

In many tourist attractions, people have chosen to suspend travel because they are afraid of the impact of the epidemic. Tourist attractions can use this method to attract more customers while taking good security measures and related epidemic measures. Although ticket revenue has dropped by eight levels year-on-year, when the COVID-19 epidemic can be brought under control globally, the tourism industry will gradually recover.

At present, the tourism industry can only recover its losses as much as possible. It needs to wait for the epidemic to be controlled before it can better usher in the hope of recovery.
