Tourists increase from year to year from less than one million tourist in 2000 to more than one million at the present. It is expected to grow upto more than two million tourists beyond 2007. The main growed area is Angkor, Siem Reap, a province reported that is number two in the context of the poor provinces in Cambodia. Million of dollars flood into Cambodia, particularly in Siem Reap, but it growth does not reflect to the real life of people in Siem Reap and country as a whole. Thus it is a discussion with a topic: while toursim is growing, the growth does not much benefit the poor. Why??????
