The Sokha Hotel Group, whose CEO is also the chairman of the Sokimex oil company, has obtained from the government the approval for two concession contracts: one for the development of the Bokor national park, and the second one for the development of the Kirirom national park.
The official signing of the contract took place this morning, on 18 Feb, during the groundbreaking inauguration of the construction site for a 5-star hotel at the top of Bokor. The Sokha Hotel Group, just as it was engaged to do last year, had already undertaken the renovation of the road leading to the top of the mountain. Villas, restaurants and casinos will see the daylight soon with a total investment amounting to several billions of dollars.
The history of the Bokor park goes all the way back to the French protectorate era. Created in 1922, it became a popular tourist resort for people who came here for the casino gambling. After the war, it was destroyed and the site was completely abandoned while the infrastructures were left in ruin.
