If the development of Kampot and Kep provinces is good, Cambodia will be able to attract a lot of tourists from Vietnam by connecting the route from the border of high-speed ships connecting tourist destinations from Koh Tral (Fukuk); come to Kampot port and Kep port.

Tourists from Thailand can also travel to Koh Kong, then Sihanoukville, and other provinces along the coast, as well as ecotourism.
