The Royal Group, a premier investment and development company in Cambodia will be developing Asia’s first environmentally planned resort island on the country’s idyllic coastline. The vision is to develop the pristine island of Koh Rong and for this, the company has already been granted a 99-year lease on the 78 sq km (30 sq mile) island, which it hopes will rival destinations such as Phuket, Koh Samui and Bali.
“Cambodia’s tourism has so far focused almost exclusively on the temples of Angkor Wat. It is our shared vision that the island be planned and developed in a way that results in the establishment of sustainable and commercially viable development models – whilst preserving and enhancing the natural environment,” said Kith Meng, Chairman and CEO of the Royal Group.
