Summary minutes of Interim Workshop in Cambodia 1. The Interim Workshop in Cambodia was held at Cambodiana Hotel, Phnom Penh, on 10 October 2017. The workshop was chaired by H.E. Tith Chantha, Secretary of State, Ministry of Tourism (MOT), and co-chaired by Mr. Steven Schipani, ADB Senior Portfolio Management Specialist. About 57 people attended, including Deputy Governors of Kep and Preah Sihanouk Provinces, representatives from national and provincial government offices, and the private sector. The main purpose of the workshop was to present to stakeholders the proposed project’s scope and preliminary design and obtain their feedback and comments. 2. In his opening remarks, H.E. Tith Chantha emphasized that the proposed project and subprojects are relevant because (i) they address problems in emerging destinations that are attracting increasing numbers of visitors and (ii) are in line with the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Government’s policy and strategic plans, including Cambodia’s Tourism Development Strategic Plan 2012–2020. The TA consultants presented the findings of the interim phase and an overview of activities undertaken to date. 3. The workshop provided ample time for discussion. In terms of project scope, representatives from Kep Province proposed the project to consider including additional subprojects in Kep Province, including: (i) water supply on the islands; (ii) enhancement of Kep beaches; (iii) a tourist pier on Rabbit Island; (iv) upgrade of access road to Kep National Park; and (vi) the creation of a crab bank and artificial reef. Preah Sihanouk Province proposed the addition of a tourism and culture center, including tourist information heritage interpretation and public toilets. The meeting notes these subprojects were not shortlisted for PPTA feasibility studies.

  • Unofficial Translation Joint Statement Youths, Civil Society Groups and Grassroots Communities Call for Removal of Development License from Koh Kong S.E.Z Co
    Unofficial translation Joint Statement Youths, Civil Society groups and Grassroots communities call for removal of development license from Koh Kong S.E.Z Co. Ltd and regulate Koh Kong Krao island as a national protected area. 31 July 2020 – We, the undersigned youths, civil society groups and grassroots communities, are very concerned by the Royal Government of Cambodia granting Koh Kong S.E.Z Col, Ltd, a company publicly known as being owned by Ly Yong Phat – a powerful tycoon widely known for his involvement in human rights abuses, land rights violations and the destruction of natural resources – the license to develop Koh Kong Krao island in Koh Kong province. The authorization given to this company will potentially be a serious threat to natural resources on the island and biodiversity in the sea, including deforestation, wildlife extinction, illegal buildings constructed on the beach, water pollution in the sea, loss natural beauty of the island and loss the benefit for Cambodian people, etc. For example, in the case on Koh Rong Samloem island, there is illegal construction on the beach land and polluted water draining into the sea. Another case is Songsaa island; after the development, most Cambodian people cannot afford to stay on the island, because the price of accommodation is too expensive. Therefore, we are very concerned about the planned development of the island by the company, and call for the government to remove the development license for Koh Kong Krao island from the company and to take all effective measures to preserve the national resources and biodiversity in the sea surrounding the island.

  • Tourism Demand Analysis
    Greater Mekong Subregion Tourism Infrastructure for Inclusive Growth Project (RRP CAM 46293-004) TOURISM DEMAND ANALYSIS A. Tourism Sector Context 1. International visitor arrivals in Cambodia reached 3.58 million in 2012, a 24% increase compared to 2011. While recent growth in arrivals has been remarkable, average length of stay has dropped by 6% to 6.3 days since 2008 and average daily spending is hovering at around $100 per day. The direct contribution of travel and tourism to GDP is 11.4% and is expected to be 11.5% of GDP in 2025. International tourism receipts reached a historic high of $2.2 billion in 2012, sustaining 782,500 jobs or 12.4% of total employment. About 60% of arrivals originate in Southeast and East Asia, with Viet Nam, the Republic of Korea and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as significant source markets. Cambodia is one of the most visa-friendly destinations in the world, offering tourist visa-on-arrival for 179 countries and visa exemption for member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The government’s Tourism Development Strategic Plan 2012–2020 forecasts 7 million international arrivals in 2020 and prioritizes investment in the southern coastal corridor (Koh Kong, Sihanoukville, Kampot, and Kep), Mekong River corridor and Tonle Sap Lake, and protected areas in the Northeast and Cardamom Mountains. B. Tourism in Kampot Province 2. Kampot’s main tourist attractions are (i) Kampot Town’s riverside setting, colonial-era buildings and historic market; (ii) Preah Monivong (Bokor) National Park, with the Bokor Hill Station and recently opened integrated resort; (iii) salt and pepper farms; and (iv) Teuk Chhou Rapids and nearby durian plantations.
