Housing development on Cambodian islands not the right time yet

Although currently there are a lot of development projects for resorts and guesthouses on various islands off Cambodia’s coast, experts say it is not the right time for such developments.

Po Eavkong, managing director of Asia Real Estate Cambodia, said the development activities on islands in Cambodia’s sea seem to be quiet,  although there has been a lot of activity recently. …
