Speaking at the launch ceremony, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen highlighted sea tourism orientations to turning Sihanoukville into a centre of the cluster of the Cambodia’s bays, Kep into a high-end and luxury tourist destination, Kampot into a tourist destination for cultural heritage and agro-tourism, and Koh Kong into a ecological tourism site.
Thong Khon asked governors of four coastal provinces to continue developing infrastructure necessary for tourism and pledged not to allow Cambodia’s coastline to become a place for drug trafficking, human trafficking and transnational crime.
