Project Characteristics and Results
Notable Community Participation
O? Bak Rotes commune of Kampong Seila district, Koh Kong Province which is located about 120 kilometers from Phnom Penh or about 13 kilometers from Pich Nil is the potential ecotourism site identified by Mlup Baitong. The good relationship between Mlup Baitong and the O? Bak Rotes community has developed over the last few years. The existing O? Bak Rotes natural resource management committee would like to initiate eco-tourism in their area, similarly to the Chambok Community Based Eco-Tourism in Phnom Sruich of Kampong Speu province. Being aware of Mlup Baitong's good experience in facilitating the Chambok CBET project, the committee requested Mlup Baitong to provide technical assistance to create the O? Bak Rotes community based eco-tourism.
