Developments are planned for Kep, 2017.
Tourism Ministry officials held a meeting yesterday to discuss a project to develop a tourist port in Kampot province and a planned drainage system for Kep’s Crab Market – two tourism infrastructure projects backed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
Tourism Minister Thong Khon recommended that the port’s buildings be designed in traditional Khmer style and based on eco-friendly principles, while the drainage system should adhere to Japanese technical specifications.
The two projects are due to begin in 2017 and be completed two years later.

Kep primed for additional eco-tourism development
Kep, the smallest province in Cambodia, is full of natural resources and is rich in cultural history. It is also the perfect place to develop an eco-tourism hub.
Kep provincial governor Ken Satha told Post Property recently that Kep’s pristine natural beauty makes it very suitable for eco-tourism development.
“We are in the stage of working out a master plan project for our province’s development which will emphasise eco-tourism,” he said.
“Although we haven’t got an official agreement from the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction, we are still progressing our master plan to develop more infrastructure [in Kep].”
Speaking with confidence, Satha said the vision for Kep’s future is one which will focus on a green city.
“We will not allow factories to invest in this green province to avoid pollution in this location,” he added.
Eco-tourism, which places importance on sustainable travel, is gaining momentum across the tourism industry as a way of preserving cultures and biodiversity.
With Kep continuing to draw a large number of local and foreign visitors, Satha said it was important to preserve the area’s natural tourist sites as well as enhance the area’s sustainability by developing eco-tourism projects such as an eco-park...

So a few basic shacks all low cost and very eco. Good destination for backpackers.

The Chinese will triple that soon, for yet another casino project.
