Sihanoukville, also known as “Kampong Som” is a coastal city in Cambodia and the capital of Sihanoukville province. It has some of the best beaches in Cambodia and is considered the countries premier seaside resort area, with a steady influx of international visitors each year.
At present, there are more than 80 international routes that leave from Hainan island. The province aims to increase this to 100 by 2020.
The recent new addition to international routes is all part of China’s plan to turn Hainan into an international tourism and consumption centre by 2025.
