Gov’t Approves Proposed New Public Beach Resort Development in Kep

The Cambodian government has officially approved a project to transform a 2.7-kilometre-long section of muddy beach from the Crab Market to a mangrove forest zone in Phum Thmey village in Kep province into a public beach resort.

The approval was revealed in a press release by the National Committee for Coastal Management and Development (NCCMD) published on Friday 13 August.

This public beach resort development project aims to enhance the beauty of this underdeveloped area into a tourist destination and to boost the local economy.

According to the plan, the tasks include recreating a 30-metre-wide and 2700-metre-long beach as well as a 50-metre-wide and 2700-metre-long public park.

NCCMD revealed that the budget for this project will be mainly from the landowners nearby the beach, in exchange for the free 50-metre-long section of land from the border of their lands to the public park.

This project was proposed earlier in 2021 and got the green light from NCCMD in July. (Read more)
