Tourism officials in Cambodia say they will ask private travel agents in popular centre of Sem Reap to lower prices, in a bid to boost the industry's off-peak season.
Off-peak runs until September.
The country's Ministry of Tourism says the request is being made after new government figures showed a 14 per cent drop in the number of foreign visitors to Siem Reap province.
The area is known for its closeness to the famed temples of Angkor Wat.
The Cambodian tourism ministry says the prices of package tours should be cut by around 20 per cent, to encourage more foreign visitors to go to Siem Reap in the off-peak season.
