Sihanoukville city has a bright future ahead say tourism industry experts here:

Why Cambodia’s beach town Sihanoukville could be the region’s next big tourist hub
By: Janelle Retka - Posted on: March 27, 2018 | Cambodia
The beach town of Sihanoukville has great tourism potential, but industry experts say proper planning and infrastructure must come first
“I think Sihanoukville will be the biggest city in Cambodia in 20 years,” says Christophe Forsinetti, chief operating officer for real estate investment firm JSM Indochina. “Look: available land, cheap labour, cheap construction costs, an international airport, Chinese proximity and even the rest of Asia. I mean, that’s a no-brainer.”

The beachside town has the potential to be the next Cancun – a Mexican tourism hub for travellers from around the world that was once an impoverished and unsafe town filled with marshes and mosquitoes before it was transformed by development, he says. If it’s designed and developed with intent, Sihanoukville could be the equivalent destination for travellers from East Asia seeking a temperate climate on holiday.

“The potential is huge,” he says. “It’s going to be a growth engine for Cambodia.”

Well, yes... :chin:
I mean, that’s a no-brainer.
“What we see from regional examples is that properly managed growth can generate huge opportunities,” he says. In Sihanoukville, “local authorities are aiming to link together the important infrastructure nodes, leveraging significant levels of Chinese-led investment under the Belt and Road initiative”.
Uh huh. :plus1:

If the Chinese development was made in mind of international tourists than Chinese, then I would possibly agree with the OP to a small extent , however looking at the place now it has a LONG time to go....☺

Why Mr Christophe Forsinetti, chief operating officer for real estate investment firm JSM Indochina, may have a vested interest in making that sort of optimistic forecast.
