Joint Tourist Port Project Set to Transform SHV’s Transportation & Economic Landscape

HE Deputy PM Say Sam Al, who chairs the Sihanoukville Provincial Government Working Group, is spearheading plans to establish a joint tourist port in Sihanoukville to enhance transportation services and boost the local economy.  The announcement was made during a meeting with tourism port business owners on 8 October 2024.

The initiative seeks to consolidate existing port facilities in Preah Sihanouk province into a single, mixed-use hub that will cater to tourism, commercial shipping, and fishing.

HE Deputy PM Say Sam Al underscored the project’s strategic importance, stating that a unified port would provide significant economic benefits to the local community, as opposed to developing multiple separate facilities. The envisioned joint port aims to serve not just as a regular port but as a key economic center, accommodating various activities that are integral to the region’s growth.

Following the meeting, the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning, and Construction will draft the project’s detailed plans in collaboration with the Beach Commission. This collaboration will lay the groundwork for a new phase in Sihanoukville’s development, aiming to align infrastructure with the province’s tourism and commercial potential.
