Cambodia Tourism draws on the enormous power of Asian regional tourism. Combined with international demand, for exclusive luxury island beach resort hideaways, and pristine beaches has a profound effect on an emerging Cambodian investment property market. The Thai islands of Koh Samui and Phuket, which once shared many of the characteristics of Cambodia’s islands, have seen luxury property values grow tremendously in the past 10 years - a trend that looks set to continue, given beaches are such a finite global resource. While similar growth can be expected for Cambodia’s islands, we remain committed to maintaining the natural assets that make locations such as this a great investment.
