It might not have a particularly highprofile as yet, but Cambodia Bay is a MICE*, leisure tourism and businesstravel destination we’re likely to hear a lot more about in future.
Covering four provinces of Cambodia – Preah Sihanouk, Koh Kong, Kampot and Kep – it’s a region of beaches, appealing scenery and economic development, attracting strong international investment which in itself is driving business traffic.
It is being positioned by the government as Cambodia’s third key international tourism destination after Siem Reap-Angkor and Phnom Penh.
In addition to hotel projects, development plans include an impressive integrated resort.
Hitherto under-utilised infrastructure is also being put to good use, notably the upgraded Sihanoukville Airport. Cambodia Angkor Air has begun a service linking the southern city with Siem Reap. Cruise traffic is also to be fostered.
Cambodia Bay last year became a member of the Most Beautiful Bays in the World ‘club’, a global organisation based in France which sets high requirements for membership and includes areas such as Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay.

Cambodia's foreign tourist arrivals up 14% in 2011
Visitors to Angkor Wat.
PHNOM PENH, Jan. 12 2012 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia had received 2.85 million foreign visitors in 2011, up 14 percent from 2.5 million in 2010, a tourism official said Thursday.

Sopheareak said Chinese tourists to Cambodia have seen the rapid growth in recent years and the country expected to attract at least 1 million Chinese tourists a year by the year 2020.
In 2011 about 1.6 million of foreign visitors visited Angkor Wat temples, one of the worldheritage sites, up by 23 percent from 1.3 million in 2010.
Tourism industry is one of Cambodia's four main economic pillars. The other three include garment industry, agriculture and real estates.

Yingluck's visit to Cambodia
Yingluck's visit
to improve relations: Cambodian deputy PM
PHNOM PENH, Sept. 9(Xinhua) -- The visit of the newly elected ThaiPrime MinisterYingluck Shinawatra (pictured) to Cambodianext week would definitely ameliorate diplomatic ties between the governments of the two neighbors, said Cambodian DeputyPrime Minister Sok An on Friday.
Yingluck has scheduled to make a one-day official visit to Cambodia on Sept. 15 to pay courtesy call on Cambodian leaders as she just becomes the new Thai prime minister.
"The visit will build better bilateral cooperation between the two countries," he told reporters at the Phnom Penh International Airport upon his return from the International Conference of Asian Political Parties (ICAPP) in China's Nanning.
The urgent and facing issue the two countries need to tackle is troop pullout from the provisional demilitarized zone of surrounding the 11th century Preah Vihear temple to comply with the order of the International Court of Justice and to end the two countries' military confrontation.
It was still unclear if Prime Minister Hun Sen and Yingluck would raise this issue during the upcoming meeting, said Sok An.
Cambodia and Thailand have had sporadic border conflict over territorial dispute nearCambodia's Preah Vihear temple since the UNESCO listed the temple as a World Heritage Site on July 7, 2008.
However, the military tension has eased since the former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's Pheu Thai Party won a landslide victory in the general elections on July 3.
Meanwhile, Sok An, who is also chairman of Cambodian National Petroleum Authority, insisted that Cambodia and Thailand should resume oil deal negotiations for joint development at the overlapping maritime area in the Gulf of Thailand as soon as possible.
Cambodia and Thailand entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) regarding the area of their overlapping maritime claims to the continental shelf in June 2001, setting out an agreed area to be delimited and an agreed joint development area (JDA), but the talks was in limbo during the former Thai government under Abhisit Vejjajiva's administration.
