19 of 32 Sihanoukville Beaches and Islands Leased to Private Sector

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

“as with any country in the world – to always lease or hand over the development of islands and beaches to private companies”

Hmm.
People of the world, spice up your life.

Hmm.
Yes, such bullshit. Most beaches in any country in the world are public property.

You had me thinking about this situation of here and that of the law of the country, or its procedures. I was firstly under the impression that from any waterfront land belongs to the Cambodian king, but we see that land being leased out to a private company, again Cambodian people who may or may not have had respect for the situation, but here once again it will be the poorest of the group that will be evicted from their sources of a home and income. It seems once again that the poorer of the group will loss out the most, and again not offered any alternatives because the law state's they really should not be there. But leasing for development money gain is accepted. It would be good to see the needy of the country get some kind of kickback in these situations.

In the case of Italy it means that privately leased beaches go as far as to one meter from the shorline. Just large enough to have a walk. Fuck that.

WHY.
It would be better not to develop, because all the basic environmental principles and natural resources will just go down the toilet.
Whatever happened to the ecotourism fad? It seemed so hip, happening & groovy :tumbleweed:
Last time I went to Koh Rong in Jan 2018, I was waiting on the pier for the ferry to arrive, to head back to Snooky

When it arrived & docked, one of the 1st tourists off the boat was a Chinese man with a bag of rubbish in his hands, kids & wife just behind. He walked straight past the rubbish bin on the pier & chucked the bag of rubbish into the water instead

One of those moments that you just can't believe happened
