Revenue from ticket sales to foreigners visiting Cambodia's famed Angkor Wat Temple reached 53.5 million U.S. dollars in the first 11 months of 2015, up 1.15 percent year-on-year, according to an official release on Tuesday.

During the period, the ancient site received 1.87 million foreign tourists, a 2.2 percent rise from a year earlier, said the release issued by the state-run Apsara Authority, which manages the site.
