Banteay Srei visitor intake area (APSARA):

a. Adoption of an overall maintenance and management plan, to be prepared and implemented in a timely manner. Since the work carried out long ago by the EFEO on this temple, it seems that no further safeguarding operation was planned. Therefore, it is recommended to work on the systematic inventory of stone storage areas and to set up a lapidarium in one of the existing wooden buildings at the north of the temple. This lapidarium could be useful in the future for any team wishing to resume restoration work on the monument and its perimeter area;

b. Management of visitor flows and tour itinerary, based on the following:

1. Promote an overall plan of the site and its surroundings which are rich in information for those interested in the temple’s natural environment;

2. Facilitate cleaning and drainage of stagnant water;

3. Revise the traffic plan.
