bets on completion??

Dr Alexander Evengroen, CEO of Chamreun Sambath Construction Co Ltd, told Khmer Times in an interview last week that they have already started to develop a large swath of land in the province where KC Adventure Resort will rise.

“We are already six months into it,” he said. The project is being developed by Chamreun Sambath Construction Co Ltd, a well-known property developer.

The project, which has an estimated cost of $20 million, is located in Kampot province’s Chhouk district, which is less than 25 kilometers away from the famous Durian Roundabout in Kampot Town, the provincial capital.

"According to Mr Evengroen, KC Adventure Resort will feature fruit farms, villas, a helipad, a clubhouse, swimming spots, a camping area, restaurants, cattle farms, a cable car, a zipline, flower gardens, a soccer field, a golf driving range, a dinosaur-themed park, ATV trails, and fish farms, among other amenities." add a toxic waste dump and it'll be 100% eco friendly.
"We don’t want to destroy the environment. What we will do is to integrate it with the beauty already there and make it better,” he added."
^ crucial for Eco friendliness
"Mr Evengroen said that from the usual 3-4 days, they want tourists to stay in Cambodia for 5 days or longer. “When they stay longer, they spend more money, thus contributing to the growth of the economy,” he pointed out."
The man has incredible insight into business.

I can see the investors in this project getting big returns on their money.

More grand plans, site maps and crappy little models.

Good luck to them if they really are serious about the Eco bit.
There is indeed a huge market for the real thing.
but they almost never are.

The only Eco bit mentioned in the article is “As much as possible, we will use natural, non-toxic products,”
Clear cutting 1000 hectares and putting in a golf course and cattle ranch don't scream Eco to me.

So many bitter people on facebook talking about this.

Complain about when chineese pave the whole fucking area but when someone come to make a "eco resort" they complain even more lol. Hard to understand what those wankers want. Complaining seems to be a big thing among Kampot expats (and yes i do live in Kampot myself, but stil).

So you think that all land is 100% dense forest or what? Have you been over there in Chhuk? Its fuck all with open fields everywhere. Maybe you should go and have a look at the Cambodian landscape for once? Fucking empty open fields as far as the eye can see. But when someone make a resort there it suddenly become as holy as the amazones?

We like, in fact love, eco resorts Albror. Real ones.
We do hate BS tho'.

Most of these activities are inherently anti-ECO to start with,
let alone hhe whole dreadful combination jammed onto a few hectares.

fruit farms, villas, a helipad, a clubhouse, swimming spots, a camping area, restaurants, cattle farms, a cable car, a zipline, flower gardens, a soccer field, a golf driving range, a dinosaur-themed park (giggle), ATV trails, and fish farms

I call BS anyway - no way this will happen as it is advertised to the investors.
And they are totally out of touch with what their market wants. High-end eco tourists are not looking for soccer fields, ATV's and golf driving ranges.

Yes, I have been there. Did you read the article or look at the photo of the planned development? There is nothing Eco about it at all.
Save your anger for someone else

I think most of the ribbing revolves around the blanket use of Eco... a Heli-Pad, executive golf course and ATV's don't typically go along
with Eco or Environmentally friendly concepts.
That and the fact they don't know where it is.
"The project, which has an estimated cost of $20 million, is located in Kampot province’s Chhouk district, which is less than 25 kilometers away from the famous Durian Roundabout in Kampot Town."
Chhouk District is more than 45K out of town.
