Tourist development

It is possible to recommend Sihanoukville as an ecological tourism spot. Although it is a duty to ask international tourism to center in the protection of the Bahia ecosystems. There is little care for the fate of nature in what is a fragile ecosystem of beaches, sea corals, woods' islands, hills and the natural parks.

Urban planning seems to be indiscriminate, with a hurry to build huge hotel networks everywhere without a previous ecological impact research. A very poor waste processing and the lack of recycle mentality of the inhabitants generate daily garbage in popular beaches and markets, while the landfill is a shame.

Tourist can find a big range of hotel offerings: from backpackers' hostels and guesthouses to five stars hotels. Tours to the islands are compulsory. Visit to the Ream National Park is a duty. Enjoying a good number of beaches is obvious. Knowing the beautiful pagodas is a great recommendation (Leu. Kraom and Otres pagodas are the best.)

Out of this, Sihanoukville stills far from the cultural life of bigger cities. In Siem Reap or Phnom Penh you can find opera, dramas, shows, ibraries, enjoy movies and get a more dynamic cultural life. But it is not possible to find in Sihanoukville yet. If you like to enjoy beaches for days and have time to write your memoirs, Sihanoukville will offer a good time for you.
