Ministry of Tourism to designate Koh Seh of Kampot as ‘special tourist destination’

The Ministry of Tourism is studying the feasibility to develop Koh Seh in Kampot province as a ‘special tourist destination’ covering an area of more than 500 hectares, following the recent decision by the government to develop special tourist destinations.

Ministry of Tourism spokesperson Mr Chuk Chumnor told Construction & Property Magazine on 27 August that Koh Seh in Kampot has great potential with a beautiful beach and nature which are suitable to develop it into a new tourist destination.

“The team has already taken the first study phase, then there will be a meeting with relevant ministries, especially the provincial administration, so we can discuss the feasibility as well as projects that can be built there,” he said.

According to Mr Chuk Chumnor, the development project will cover around 500 hectares, but the actual size may change once the study is completed and published later in 2019.

The new tourism destination will also promote investment to attract all types of tourist, all of which will meet and adhere to the principles of sustainability and the environment.

“Because we have already studied, we can have many products such as luxury resorts, but also open to the public who are ordinary tourists so they can visit as well,” he said.

The development will be divided into different zones; some for luxury tourism and some for mass tourism, such as swimming or other entertainment activities.

“The trend of tourists visiting Kampot is increasing, especially with the push for development to other areas on the island, so it will not only boost tourism in Kampot, but also boost tourism to the surrounding locations, creating competition with countries in the region,” he said.
