A Japanese company is investing US$4 million to develop a tourist port in Kep province, Cambodia, the provincial tourism chief said Thursday.
The Phnom Penh Post said that Rotong Development Group is behind the deal that would allow Kep to receive cruise ships and link the town to Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam, provincial authorities said.
A ferry capable of accommodating 220 passengers will operate under the first phase of the project.
“The master plan for the port development has been given the green light from Prime Minister Hun Sen already,” said Chhay Khoeun from the provincial tourism authority.
He said that the development would help attract visitors from Phu Quoc Island.
