Spatial Planning Guidance
Positioned as a premier eco-tourism destination, Kep Province will remain committed to the principles of sustainable development, quality, competitiveness, and smart tourism. The province aims to develop into a significant natural and coastal tourism hub relying on climate and natural resources, islands and marine resources, as well as forests and biodiversity. The province will endeavor to preserve the productive landscape of salt fields along the coastline, with its tourism zones predominantly situated along the central and western coastal area. The province will allocate mixed land use of residential and participatory agricultural functions along the east side of Kep National Park in the form of detached or semi-detached housing. Currently, the province is prioritizing the construction of a tourism road along the coastline that links Kep City to Angkol Beach.
