Cambodia's tourism minister says the global financial crisis and political protests in Thailand were behind a less than expected rise in tourist numbers in 2008.
In the first half of last year arrivals soared 13 per cent, and the Ministry of Tourism projected continued growth in the second half of the year.
AFP news agency reports official figures, however, show tourist arrivals were up just eight per cent.
