Found this site while looking for info about Cambodia's islands. Basically they want to demonstrate to the government that it's possible to make money from the islands without destroying their ecosystems.

It seems pretty cool to me (I like to be a hippy sometimes :P), and I definitely would go there once it's open. Hopefully it's a sustainable project though. At the very least it provides a different kind of resort for the traveler. The site has a decent amount of info so it's worth a read.

edit: Might as well add some pics while I'm here aye? There's more pics on the site though. icon_smile.gif

This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! We need more RESPONSIBLE development projects, that way our country's natural resources won't be stretch & depleted!!! Need more SCHOOLS & HOSPITALS for the people & less sky scrapers for now!!!

CAREFUL PLANNING & RESPONSIBLE BUILDING!!!

Nice find, transtic. beerchug.gif I hope it will sustain its natural beauty forever but I doubt that will likely happen. Hun Sen have already leased the surrounding islands near it to foreign developers and they will be building and transporting tons of crap back in forth for another 99 years. I better go visit these areas while it still has its natural beauty.

You know what is Eco-tourism...change sometimes is good...if u dont like changing, you should go back to live in the forest like 2000 years ago...

Eco-tourism is the tourist travel package that offers tours around natural, undeveloped, unspoiled environments. So long as no major AC-cooled 30-story hotel is built, all is good and the locals actually benefit more from eco-tourism than locals in the city.

Eco-tourism is an awesome idea....not only is it great for the environment, but helps preserve & protect our natural resources. Also, if it becomes a success then HOPEFULLY it will catch on & teach the Cambodian citizens to protect & value ALL of our lands & natural resources!!!

That is a great place for people to relax.
Hope the islands can be maintained like that for future generations.

That looks like a place that could be a blast as well as very romantic
