Kep to Build Tourism Seaport on Koh Tonsay Island

The Kep provincial administration has revealed plans to build a Koh Tonsay tourism port , with a firm is currently proceeding with an environmental and social impact assessment.

Deputy governor of Kep province HE Ol Phirun said on 18 November that the tourism seaport project has the backing of the ADB and a local firm has applied to implement the project and is currently undertaking the feasibility study.

“The pre-feasibility study has been wrapped up and the firm made a presentation of the study’s result to the relevant authorities,” said HE Phirun.

She added that the result of the study was mainly focused on the possible location of port construction, road connection, and impact on local people.

“Because it is the ADB-backed project, it requires the ESIA study …and it is the first step that the firm concluded the study and presented to authorities for comments and feedback,” she said, stating that more studies will follow.

The project is part of the planned maritime transportation link between a seaport on Koh Tonsay Island to the tourism seaport in Kampot province which is currently under construction.

Currently, tourists travel to Koh Tonsay Island via the wooden port, which will be difficult once more tourists head to the island.
