City in the clouds: ‘Bokor’ created on mountain in Kampot’s national park

[geovalin]

Prime Minister Hun Sen has signed a sub-decree to establish a new city in Bokor National Park, Kampot province, to be completed in the next five to six months. The sub-decree was issued on March 16 and released to the press yesterday.

 

According to the sub-decree, the new city will be named “Bokor City”, and will include three communes – Boeng Touk, Koh Touch and Prek Tnoat.

 

The government announced the plan to build a city in Bokor National Park in August 2019. The master plan – “Master Plan for Bokor City Development Project until 2035” – stated that the new city will occupy about five percent of land in Bokor National Park, or about 9,000 hectares. Before the pandemic, the national park attracted thousands of tourists each year as it is known for its abundant forests and varied wildlife.

Umm, "national park" NOT city! Those thousands came because Bokor is pretty much unspoiled.
