Siem Reap to welcome $27mln Cambodia-China Cultural Park
October 16, 2019
The Council for the Development of Cambodia, a government agency that oversees investment, last week approved a large-scale tourism project in Siem Reap.

Called ‘Cambodia-China Cultural Park,’ the project will be developed by Angkor International Culture Investment & Development (Cambodia) Co., Ltd with a capital of $27.5 million.

According to CDC, the project will be developed in Sla Kram commune in Siem Reap, home to the Angkor Archaeological Park.

No timeframe for the project’s development has been revealed.

Minister of Tourism Thong Khon recently urged the creation of new tourism products, as well as the expansion of existing ones, in Siem Reap.

“We have identified new potential tourism products, particularly in Kulen Mountain, the Tonle Sap area, and around the temples of Angkor,” he said.

Top Sopheak, Ministry of Tourism spokesman, told Khmer Times yesterday that the ministry welcomes new investment plans by the private sector.

“We welcome new projects by private companies, but ask these companies to ensure that they follow the local regulation and that their plans do not harm the local heritage and eco-system,” he said, adding that, “Conservation and development must go hand in hand.”
