The firm revealed the plan during a meeting with Koh Kong Governor HE Mithona Phouthorng on 21 May.

According to Fresh News, Chairman of Zhengheng (Cambodia) Co., Ltd. Mr Deng Pibing said the Long Bay project covers an area of 2 million square metres, which can be developed into many other tourist attractions.

“Following the long-term investment plan, the Long Bay project will soon become one of the most luxurious hotel complexes, a centre for leisure, health care and entertainment sector,” said Mr Deng.

In response, Koh Kong Provincial Governor HE Mithona Phuthong expressed her full support for the company’s investment plan.

She added that this project is considered a major achievement in the province’s tourism sector, which has been creating hundreds of jobs for local people and especially help upgrade the beauty of Koh Kong to a large extent.

According to the firm, the Long Bay project has thus far employed over 800 local employees, while in the next two years, the firm will demand thousands more.
