Eco-Tourism Plan for Kratie's "30 Islands" on the Mekong
Master plan set to spur tourism to Kratie archipelago

A 2022-2026 master plan has been rolled out to develop a Mekong River archipelago in the northern reaches of Kratie province into a choice tourist destination, support a local ecotourism-based community, promote ethnic minority cultures, and further national resource conservation.
Koh Samseb Community Based Ecotourism, the community involved in the five-year master plan, is based in Khsach Leav village, O’Krieng commune, Sambor district near the Koh Samseb archipelago, the name of which translates from Khmer as “30 islands”.
But despite its name, the area is actually home to hundreds of islands covered with lush green forest, sandy beaches, flooded forests and rich biodiversity, including more than 200 species of birds, along with rare fishes that inhabit its deep pools.
The provincial Department of Tourism conducted a number of preliminary studies and developed the master plan in collaboration with regional non-profit Non-Timber Forest Products Exchange Programme (NTFP-EP) and the Kratie Provincial Administration.
The master plan aims to orient tourism development in the area for the community to grow, and focuses on product development, marketing and promotion; human resource development; and the management of waste and the tourism environment.
It is expected to raise both visitorship to the area and revenues for the community by 10 per cent each year, for a total 61.05 per cent boost by 2026 compared to 2021 levels.
Kratie provincial deputy governor Pen Lynat told The Post that the master plan would not only drive development of the archipelago, but would also spur growth in the provincial tourism sector as a whole.
Although domestic and foreign travellers to Kratie tend to go for the dolphins, Lynat assured that the additional infrastructure at Koh Samseb would provide more options for travellers.
He described the landscape of the archipelago as “very beautiful, with beaches and flooded forests with the potential for tourism”.

Eco-Tourism don't mix here.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Cover the islands in concrete and put a few potted plants around. Bosh - "eco-resort".
Silence, exile, and cunning.

There are a few islands alright, but what's in that pic is just a few dry season sandbars which get submerged when the monsoon comes
Re: Eco-Tourism Plan for Kratie's "30 Islands" on the Mekong
Then again referring to your quote, the sandbars may become islands with a prolonged drought or the hydro dam's help. Or like John quoted the use of concrete.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Fri Jul 01, 2022 4:14 pmI've been in that area at different times of the year.CEOCambodiaNews wrote: ↑Fri Jul 01, 2022 1:32 pm Master plan set to spur tourism to Kratie archipelago
