No many how much fund we get, if the government is still crocked. All the money would just go straight into there pocket.
Asianonyx, the charge to enter the Angkor Wat complex is just a small part of the tourists's expenditure--like 20 dollars person per day. They spend their money on foods, hotels, souvenirs, travelling and so on... all these could be added up to 400 dollars to thousands of dollars compared to 20 to 40 dollars to enter the Angkor Wat complex. The government has no control on the tourists' spending on foods, hotels, gifts and souvenirs, travelling etc.... Look at it this way: $40 to enter Angkor wat times 2million tourists = 80million dollars. But, the amount spent on foods, hotel, gifts, travelling etc... let say easily top 500 dollars person
X 2 million tourists = 1 billion dollars... Imagine you have 4 or 5 million tourists in the next 5 years.. You are looking at billions and billions of dollars. Everyone benefits, not jus the government.
This is huge money!!! I hope you understand it.
