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.
