Among them, selected islands such as Koh Tonsay, Koh Ses, Koh Rong, Koh Rong Sanloem, Koh Sdach and numerous islands in Koh Kong province are set to be jointly developed as an island-hopping tourism and marine biodiversity belt. These islands will be transformed into premier destinations offering world-class leisure and vacation experiences, thoughtfully designed to captivate and cater to international travelers.
