PHNOM PENH, December 30, 2011 (Cambodia Herald) –, Sihanoukville is preparing for Cambodia's first Sea Festival at Ochheuteal Beach this weekend following the coastal zone being admitted as a member of Club of the Most Beautiful Bays in the World in July.
Tith Chantha, director general of the Ministry of Tourism, told The Cambodia Herald Friday that everything was almost ready. “We're having final discussions," he said. "After that, we'll be ready to go."
Speaking from Ochheuteal Beach, Tith Chantha said the New Year celebration would include a live concert, fireworks, beach and water sports activities as well as a food festival and an exhibition on tourism development.
The festival starts at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday and will last until late Sunday afternoon. “At least 10,000 local tourists will join the event," the official said. "We expect many foreign tourists will come since this is the New Year holiday.”
With hotels and guest houses already booked, “tourists can sleep in tents provided by some companies,” he added.
