Ua kū i mua ka huakaʻi ʻo Kambupila me ka ulia pōpilikia i ka hāʻule o kahi hāʻule nui mai Northeast ʻAsia, ʻo Iapana a me Kōlea Hema. Ua kōkua pū ka hakakā politika me Thailand i kahi kulu nui mai nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi kokoke.
Ma hope o ʻeono mau makahiki o ka ulu ulu ʻole ʻana –a ʻo ka hapanui o nā helu pālua-, ua ʻike ka huakaʻi ʻo Kambupea i ka emi ʻana o ka hōʻea ʻana o ka huina no ka hapa mua o ka makahiki 2009. ʻOiai akahai ma -1.1 pakeneka, ua hoʻouna ʻia kahi hōʻailona hopohopo ʻoiai ʻo ka mākaʻikaʻi kahi o nā Loaʻa nā loaʻa kālā nui loa no ke aupuni a me kahi kumu nui o ka hana me 300,000 Khmers e hana nei i ka hōkele a me ka ʻoihana hoʻokipa.
Wahi a kahi noiʻi, ua hele aku nā huakaʻi Kōlea Hema, ma waena o nā mākeke komo mua o Kambupila, i hāʻule i ka hapakolu i ke kau mua 2009. ʻO nā mākeke e like me Australia, Kina, Thailand a me Iapana i hōʻole pū kekahi i nā helu pālua. Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka ulu ʻana ma Vietnam - i kēia manawa ʻo Kambupila ka mākeke nui loa -, Palani, UK a me USA.
ʻO ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Siem Reap, kahi i kū ai nā luakini i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ʻo Angkor Wat, ua hoʻopili ʻia e ka hāʻule. Wahi a ka ʻikepili mai ka mana o nā kahua mokulele, ua hōʻole ka nui o nā mea holo ma Siem Reap mai Ianuali a Mei i 25.5 pakeneka, mai 778,000 a 580,000.

Hōʻike ʻia ka disaffection no Angkor Wat i loko o nā loaʻa kālā mai nā Apsara Authority, nāna e mālama i nā luakini. No ka hapa mua o ka makahiki, ua iho nā loaʻa kālā mai ke kūʻai kūʻai balota e aneane 20 pākēneka. ʻO ka makahiki ʻelua ia o ka emi ʻana o ka mana no ka mea ua hāʻule nā loaʻa kālā mai nā kūʻai balota mai US $ 32 a 30 miliona ma waena o 2007 a me 2008. ʻO Bun Narith, ka luna nui o ka Apsara Authority, ka mea i hoʻopiʻi i ka pilikia o ka hoʻokele waiwai, nā manaʻo politika ʻole ma nā hoanoho. ʻO Thailand a me nā wā maikaʻi ʻole no ka hāʻule holoʻokoʻa.

Nui nā hōʻemi kumukūʻai a me nā uku hōʻemi ma nā hōkele a me nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi, ka wehe ʻana o nā palena palena hou, nā huakaʻi hou aku i Kambupila mahalo i ka mea lawe moku ʻoi hou ʻo Kambodia Angkor Air (CAA) pono e hāʻawi e hoʻihoʻi i ka mākaʻikaʻi ma ke ala pololei. Ua hoʻohiki mua ke aupuni e hoʻomaka hou i kahi papahana TV ma nā kahawai ma Kina, Iapana a me Korea a wānana e ulu hou ka mākaʻikaʻi mai Kepakemapa. Me kahi laki laki, hiki iā ia ke holoi holoʻokoʻa i kāna hāʻule a hōʻike i kahi ulu haʻahaʻa o ka hōʻea ʻana o ka huina i ka hopena o ka makahiki.
