SIHANOUKVILLE, CAMBODIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 6 December 2023 - The Bay of Lights development project has taken a significant step forward with the launch of the Summer Bay Beach Club and Cabins. Located within the Bay of Lights, and only a scenic two-hour drive from the capital, this resort has successfully attracted over 16,000 visitors and logged 3,000 cabin bookings since its soft opening on September 8. This initiative is a key component of an ambitious plan to transform Sihanoukville into a pivotal player in regional tourism.

The grand opening ceremony was graced by the presence of His Excellency Kouch Chamreoun, Governor of Preah Sihanouk and His Excellency Tith Chantha, Permanent Secretary of State for the Ministry of Tourism.

Edward Lee, Spokesperson of Bay of Lights, shared his vision during the grand opening, "The Summer Bay Beach Club & Cabins represents the start of our vision to blend leisure with local economic advancement. In the near future, we're excited to announce it will become the first beachfront property managed by 'Ascott under the Préférence Hotel collections.' We're not just aiming to lead in Cambodian tourism, but to make our mark in the Indochina region."
More than an Inauguration: The Far-reaching Impact and Forward Path of Bay of Lights

Bay of Lights has also made its mark with successful events such as Skyfest, Cambodia's first international kite festival, and the Nightmare Carnival, the first beachfront Halloween village in Cambodia. These events attracted over 10,000 and 20,000 visitors respectively, further enhancing Sihanoukville's reputation and contributing to the city's tourism boom.
Beyond the Now: Bay of Lights Sets Sight on Future Attractions and Strategic Growth
