The construction on a new tourist ferry port located about 6 kilometers from the provincial capital in Kampot province has been delayed, although a Tourism Ministry spokesman promised that it would begin before the end of this year. The $10mn port, funded by a loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), is set to occupy 4 hectares in the province’s Teuk Chhou district. Once completed, the new facility would be able to service cruise ships from neighboring Vietnam and Thailand. (Source: Phnom Penh Post)
