Mondulkiri elephant row continues
An Eco-tourism initiative in Mondulkiri province will remain open for daytime visits only for the time being, after authorities heard from officials at the Elephant Valley Project (EVP) and locals who complain the NGO siphons tourism money.
EVP officials met with people who filed complaints with Sen Monorom town officials on Friday, just two days after town authorities ordered EVP to shut down its onsite accommodations and restaurant, saying it lacks a proper guesthouse licence. …
No official agreement was made by the end of the meeting, but Highwood said he expects another one will take place later this week. …
