Job creation summary
  • The pier and associated facilities will create 2,500 tourism-related jobs through expanded land and sea transportation services, customs and immigration facilities, and expansion of other tourism services in Kampot. Residents of the commune Chum Kriel with a population of 5,282 will benefit from new tourism-related economic opportunities. The salt farmers that live along the access road will benefit from more affordable and reliable transportation options.
  • The environmental improvements at the crab market will significantly increase the quality of the beach area by ending the current practice of discharging raw sewage from the market and food stalls to the beach area.
