Kampot Tourism Port, in Collaboration with Virak Buntham, Launches High-Speed Boat Service in Cambodia

The Kampot International Tourist Port, operated by KITP Development Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of AZ Group, has recently partnered with Virak Buntham to introduce high-speed boat services connecting Cambodia to neighboring countries. This partnership, formalized during a signing ceremony on January 6, 2025, marks a significant milestone in the region’s transportation and tourism sectors.

Aiming for Tourism Growth

According to Virak Buntham, the collaboration targets bringing 500,000 national and international tourists to Kampot in 2025, with projections to attract 1 million visitors by 2026. This ambitious goal aligns with the operational success of Kampot International Port, which has been serving as a vital hub for coastal and international travel.

Expanding Connectivity

The high-speed boat services will offer a more efficient means of transportation for tourists traveling from Kampot to nearby islands, such as Koh Rong, Koh Rong Samloem, and Koh Sdach, as well as international destinations. Notably, Virak Buntham is recognized as the first company to operate modern passenger boat services from Kampot to Koh Tral (Phu Quoc Island) in Vietnam, further strengthening the region’s connectivity.

Economic Impact

This collaboration is expected to significantly boost Cambodia’s economy by promoting hospitality services and inland passenger transport. The enhanced travel options will not only attract more tourists but also contribute to the development of local businesses and communities. Virak Buntham’s existing eight years of experience in high-speed boat services positions them as a reliable partner in achieving these economic and tourism goals.

Future Outlook

As Kampot positions itself as a key player in Cambodia’s tourism landscape, the partnership between Kampot International Tourist Port and Virak Buntham exemplifies the province’s commitment to innovation and growth. By providing modern, efficient, and scenic travel options, the collaboration promises to elevate Kampot’s appeal as a premier travel destination in Southeast Asia.
