The ancient park earned gross revenue of nearly 12.4 million U.S. dollars from ticket sales in January this year, also down 8.1 percent over the same period last year, said the state-owned Angkor Enterprise's statement.

The entrance fee to the park is 37 U.S. dollars for a one-day visit, 62 dollars for a three-day pass, and 72 dollars for a week-long pass.
