3-day Sea Festival to be held in Sihanoukville.
More than 500,000 visitors are expected to attend the annual Sea Festival in Preah Sihanouk province this December, leading to concerns by tourism officials about room availability for all of them.
The fifth iteration of the annual event, which moves between coastal cities, includes cultural and sporting events aimed at both local and international visitors, explained provincial tourism director Taing Sochet Krishna. However he said the high numbers of expected visitors for the three-day event between December 17 and 19, what is traditionally high-season in Sihanoukville, could potentially become an issue.
Ho Vandy, secretary-general of the National Tourism Alliance, told Khmer Times that the high number of visitors was due to more disposable income amongst Cambodia’s growing middle class. He called on provincial authorities to ensure prices remained affordable, and that litter was removed, in order to provide the best experience for visitors.
“The authorities should provide a high-level security to all visitors, and tourism industry service providers should not hike the price of products to be higher than normal. The environment surrounding the event should be clean and rubbish bins must be deployed for the public,” Mr. Vandy said...

Shitsville can borrow some of our Centri rubbish bins in PP if they want. No-one here knows how to use them.

No, but due to the expected shortage of hotel rooms, the event has been moved to Xmas when the town is already full.phuketrichard wrote:LOL; like the last big festival that was NOT held

Sounds like my annual pilgrimage to the beach has just been cancelled. All rooms will be double price, just because they can.
