Song Saa Hotels & Resorts operates the only luxury private island resort in Cambodia as well as an NGO – The Song Saa Foundation. In Khmer, ‘Song Saa’ means the ‘The Sweethearts,’ which is the name jointly given to the two private twin islands that the resort spans. Song Saa Hotels & Resorts is widely known for working with the Song Saa Foundation to protect the local environment, community and culture of the surrounding region. ==History== Established in 2011, Song Saa Hotels and Resorts is the operator of a Cambodian luxury private island resort in Sihanoukville Province, where 27 villas have been built with sustainable materials as part of the company's environmental pledge. The company works together with the Song Saa Foundation to protect the environment, the community and culture in each of the locations in which it operates. 〔 The Song Saa brand was established by couple Rory, an advertising executive and Melita Hunter, a designer and artist. The two Australian entrepreneurs have been based in Cambodia since 2005. Prior to founding the group the couple operated a business restoring French colonial villas for sale to expats in Phnom Penh.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Song Saa resort, Cambodia, is Rory and Melita Hunter’s community project )〕 The two small islands known as “the Sweethearts” on which the resort is based were populated by 60 inhabitants before the resort’s conception are close to Koh Rong. Cambodia’s second largest island, Koh Rong, is about half the size of Koh Samui, across the Gulf of Thailand, but has no cars or roads. Since being cleared alongside the rest of the islands by the Khmer Rouge (which banned coastal fishing), it has been slowly repopulated. Present on the island are three small villages, a coconut farm and eight mobile phone masts. Formal concession for the islands was granted in 2007, becoming only the second property company to acquire costal property in Cambodia. Construction began on Koh Ouen in 2010 and the hotel opened as Song Saa Private Island in March 2012. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Song Saa Hotels & Resorts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
