ABOUT SIHANOUKVILLE
SIHANOUKVILLE (SHV) IS STRATEGICALLY LOCATED IN THAI GULF. IT’S THE HOME OF CAMBODIA’S LARGEST SEAPORT, BUILT BY THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT FUNDS (JICA.)
THE CITY IS POPULAR
AMONG THE CHINESE TOURISTS DUE TO THE CLOSE PROXIMITY TO CHINA. UNLIKE MACAU, CHINESE CAN COME AS OFTEN AS THEY WANT TO. THIS RESULTED IN THE SPIKE OF CHINESE TOURISTS AT 120% TO 900,000 CHINESE IN 2018. THE DOWNSIDE IS THE LAND PRICE IN SHV DOUBLE OR TRIPLE IN THE RECENT YEAR.
SHV BECOMES AN INTERNATIONAL STRATEGIC LOCATION FOR CHINA’S SILK ROAD POLICY, THAT IS BUILDING THE NEW HIGHWAY (H2) FROM PHNOM PENH. IT IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE TRAVEL VOLUME FOR INTERNATIONAL VISITORS. THE CITY IS ALSO EXPECTED TO BE THE REGIONAL COASTAL RESORT AS PHUKET, THAILAND IS.
