The Coastal City project,


Dara Sakor resort, is carved out of the Botum Sakor National Park on the Koh


in second phase and 50 million by third phase (2050). A new airport for Siem Reap is also on target to open later this year plus an airport on the island of Koh Rong.


Meanwhile, there are reports of casinos springing up around the country with little regard for the environment or communities.


One such development is the Coastal City project, Dara Sakor resort, carved out of the Botum Sakor National Park on the Koh Kong province coastline. Te project has come under huge scrutiny and conflict and apparently violates deforestation regulations and saw more than 1,000 families evicted and forced to relocate due to construction without appropriate compensation.


Te development was undertaken by Union Development Group, a Chinese company that was granted a 99-year lease for a 36,000 hectare concession in the national park in 2008 followed by a further 9,100 hectares in 2011.

Kong province coastline. The $3.8bn resort consumes roughly 20 per cent of Cambodia’s coastline. The huge resort project will include hotels, villas and apartments, golf course, casino, retail, marine


terminals and new airport. Much of which is completed.


In 2020, the US Treasury Department sanctioned UDG for ‘serious human rights abuses and corruption’ after UDG evicted and harassed residents from the area using the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces. Forests have been cleared whilst there have been reports of human trafficking victims used in the project.


Te $3.8bn resort consumes roughly 20 per cent of Cambodia’s coastline and means residents


who were forced to move have also lost their livelihood fishing in the area. Te huge resort project will include hotels, villas and apartments, golf course, casino, retail, marine terminals and new airport. Much of which is completed.


Hong Kong-listed Century Entertainment runs the casino via an agreement with Victor Mind Global ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of the company) and Lion King Entertainment (owned by Century’s CEO Man Sun Ng). Originally the casino was located at the Sunshine Bay Hotel in Sihanoukville, but was relocated to Dara Sakor resort and has been fully operational since February 2022 and will eventually include 20 mass gaming table, 25 VIP tables and 50 slots.


In 2021, Hun Sen signed a sub-decree which transformed 127,000 hectares of protected land in Koh Kong province into state private land and conservationists fear this means many other parts of the province will now also be sold for development.
