Siem Reap, Angkor Wat, Angkor Archaeological Park and Cambodia’s Green Season are at the centre of a new tourism promotion designed to encourage more domestic and international travel in 2026. The 2026 Siem Reap Tourism Service Mega Sale began on August 1, offering discounts of between 10% and 50% on participating tourism services during the Green Season. https://akp.gov.kh
The pilot programme is being implemented by Cambodia’s Ministry of Tourism with the Siem Reap Chapter of the Cambodia Hotel Association, the Siem Reap Tourism Club Association and tourism businesses across the province. Participating three-star to five-star establishments are included in the promotion.
Siem Reap Puts Green Season Travel In Focus
The promotion is specifically designed around Cambodia’s Green Season, traditionally associated with the wetter months of the year. The period brings greener landscapes around Siem Reap and creates different conditions for visitors exploring the province’s temples, countryside and cultural attractions.
Under the programme, both Cambodian and international tourists can book participating services through Cambodia Wonder and receive discounts ranging from 10% to 50%. The offer covers participating three-star, four-star and five-star tourism businesses. https://akp.gov.kh
For travellers, the promotion provides an opportunity to plan accommodation and tourism services around a period when Siem Reap is actively encouraging additional visitor activity.
Angkor Remains The Main Tourism Draw
Angkor Archaeological Park remains central to any Siem Reap itinerary. The UNESCO-listed archaeological complex includes Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm and numerous other temples spread across a large landscape.
A Green Season visit can be built around early-morning temple exploration before continuing through the wider archaeological zone. Visitors can also combine temple sightseeing with museums, markets, restaurants and cultural attractions in Siem Reap town.
The scale of Angkor means travellers can spend multiple days exploring different temple complexes rather than treating the destination as a single attraction. A longer stay also creates opportunities to visit less-visited temples and surrounding communities.
Rainy Months Create A Different Travel Experience
The Green Season changes the appearance of the Siem Reap landscape. Rainfall can create fuller waterways and greener vegetation around the temple complex and countryside, while weather conditions can vary considerably during the day.
For visitors, this means carrying suitable rain protection and planning outdoor sightseeing around changing conditions. Early starts can help travellers make better use of periods of clearer weather, while museums, cafés, restaurants and indoor cultural attractions provide alternatives during heavy rainfall.
The season also creates opportunities for travellers who want to combine temple visits with slower exploration of Siem Reap’s surrounding countryside.
Discounts Cover Hotels And Tourism Services
The Mega Sale is focused on tourism services rather than a single hotel chain or attraction. Participating accommodation providers and tourism businesses can offer discounts between 10% and 50%, with the campaign covering establishments in the three-star to five-star categories. https://akp.gov.kh
That gives visitors several accommodation choices, from conventional hotels and resorts to properties located closer to the town centre or the road leading towards Angkor.
Some individual properties are also running separate Green Season offers. For example, published 2026 promotions include discounted stays at properties in Siem Reap through October, with some packages adding benefits for longer stays. Vidotour
Travellers should therefore check the specific terms, travel dates and inclusions attached to each offer before booking.
Local Experiences Extend Beyond The Temples
Siem Reap’s tourism experience is not limited to Angkor. Travellers can explore the Old Market area, Pub Street, local restaurants, craft shops and cultural venues, while excursions around the province introduce rural landscapes and Cambodian communities.
Tonle Sap Lake is another major excursion option. Visitors can travel towards floating and lakeside communities and combine the experience with a wider Siem Reap itinerary.
Local food is another part of the journey. Cambodian dishes, street food, traditional restaurants and contemporary dining venues give visitors opportunities to experience regional cuisine during their stay.
Longer Stays Can Build Wider Itineraries
The availability of discounted accommodation and tourism services can also make it easier to create multi-day itineraries. Instead of limiting a visit to Angkor Wat and a small number of temples, travellers can allow additional time for museums, markets, countryside excursions, Tonle Sap and cultural activities.
This approach spreads visitor activity across more parts of Siem Reap and gives accommodation, restaurants, guides, transport operators and attractions additional opportunities to serve visitors.
The promotion comes as Cambodia responds to weaker international tourism traffic. The first half of 2026 saw international arrivals to Cambodia fall significantly compared with the previous year, while Angkor Archaeological Park also recorded a decline in foreign visitors. US-ASEAN Business Council
Siem Reap Targets A Stronger Green Season
The 2026 Siem Reap Tourism Service Mega Sale puts price reductions at the centre of the province’s Green Season tourism push. With discounts reaching 50% at participating businesses, travellers have additional options when planning accommodation and tourism services.
For visitors, Siem Reap offers a combination of major heritage sites, Cambodian cuisine, local markets, cultural experiences, countryside excursions and access to Tonle Sap. The Green Season promotion adds another practical reason to consider a longer Cambodia itinerary in 2026, particularly for travellers looking to explore Angkor and the wider Siem Reap region.
