Local music legend Sokun Nisa attended the event and serenaded the audience.There was also a dance performance by children from LRDE (Le Restaurant des Enfants de la Rue). Built on a vision Prestige Homes Cambodia, which operates out of its office at Golden Tower on Street 215, has already struck up a partnership with local development Urban Village.Company material claims they want to be a “one-stop shop” for all real estate needs.Click over to Prestige Homes’ Realestate.com.kh profile to see all their current listings.

In decades past, Cambodia main tourist demographic was young Western backpackers travelling on a shoestring budget. Of course, budget hostels can still be found across the country. Yet, a new level of accomodation is sweeping across the nation.According to data from the Ministry of Tourism, Cambodia welcomed over six million international tourists last year. That marked an increase of 11% over the previous year. What’s more, the government projects similar growth by the end of 2019. But who are these new tourists?The biggest group is made up of those coming from China. They accounted for nearly two million last year, in fact. Earlier this year the minister of tourism claimed that figure would hit three million by the end of this year.Seakcheang Leng, marketing manager for Phnom Penh’s Lumiere Hotel, said that there has been a shift in recent years towards more visitors from Asia rather than Western nations.“In addition, we see that new arrivals tend to be more inclined to try new hotel properties as they favor new rooms equipped with new furniture and fittings.”Lumiere Hotel, which has been operating in the capital since 2017, is one of the establishments offering accommodations in this higher price point. Rooms there run for between $100 and $150 a night. The hotel boasts amenities such as rooftop jacuzzi, pool and meeting rooms.Leng added that Lumiere’s customers are drawn by its modern designs.“The trend is that millennials are now becoming the primary consumer markets and these travellers are really technology-savvy.”Power of Phnom PenhDespite Siem Reap’s status as the tourist capital of Cambodia, industry experts say that Phnom Penh has the most potential for this expansion into higher segments of the market.Chenda Suos, secretary-general of Cambodian Valuers and Estate Agents Association, said that in addition to holiday tourists, Phnom Penh also draws business travellers, short-term NGO workers, domestic tourists and many other key demographics.“The hotel market in Phnom Penh hasn’t neared oversupply yet … the city will continue its expansion toward the suburbs which will lead more accommodation,” he said.However, many still note the need for increased human capital, skills training and education in the hospitality sector.Peng Ponna, assistant dean and lecturer of faculty of Tourism and Hospitality of Pannasastra University of Cambodia, said that hotel sector in Phnom Penh is still more affordable than comparable rooms in other Southeast Asian countries. Yet businesses should aim to boost soft skills of their employees.“The hotel sector is providing a lot of jobs for Cambodian people … as the market becomes more competitive hotels will need to provide better services in order to stand out,” Ponna said.Leng from Lumiere concurred, adding that the market was changing. She said that boosting soft skills goes hand-in-hand with technological advancements.“Guests can now easily compare prices, check availability, read reviews and book accommodation all on their smartphones,” she said.“We expect the competition to get even stiffer in the future as options diversify with the rise of rental apps, guesthouses, hotels and resorts.”Whether you're looking for short-term or long-term accomodations, start your search with Realestate.com.kh.

Over 20,000 people descended upon Koh Pich over the weekend, many of them putting down big money for condos, borey homes, land or cars at Realestate.com.kh’s massive Home & Lifestyle Expo 2019. The company’s CEO claimed it was their most successful event to date.Taking place at Koh Pich Exhibition Centre on April 26 and 27 in 2019, the event hosted exhibitors from every section of the property market. Borey developers were there, as were condo developers, plot land dealers, agencies,  lawyers, banks, construction firms and architects.There was also lifestyle luxury brands there selling cars, watches, handbags, furniture and much more. Many were offering their biggest discounts of the year. The event didn’t disappoint, either. Many exhibitors were able to connect with quality buyers and book sales that will smash their yearly sales quotas.Affordable properties were the focus of the show, so it’s no surprise that middle-class Cambodians made up a large contingent of attendees.“Around half of the attendees were local,” said Realestate.com.kh CEO Tom O’Sullivan, adding that the remaining demographics were mostly Chinese and just a handful of other international visitors.“We really wanted to make the event into a blockbuster weekend and we were floored by the overwhelmingly positive response. By all accounts, this was one of the biggest real estate gatherings that Southeast Asia has ever seen.”Explosive salesUrban Village, a development project in Phnom Penh’s Chak Angre Leu, was particularly hot with real estate shoppers. The group reportedly sold 40 units over the weekend worth over $3.5 million combined.Arata Garden Residences was another hot ticket project on the weekend. Piloted by Creed Group, the development sold 12 properties at an average price of just under $100,000 apiece.Top International Agent inked eight sales at the show worth over $60,000 combined.Worldbridge Homes hit the high notes during the expo as well. They sold nine properties, raking in over $250,000. Local agency Pointer Property had an exciting weekend as they recorded four sales worth around $70,000 each.7 Residence hit it big with a single sale of a unit worth half a million dollars. But sales weren’t the only way to judge the success of exhibitors. In fact, many collected hundreds of new sales leads that will continue to pay off throughout the year. PHMK  Real Estate, Capital Partners, Bred Bank, Royal Platinum, Air Apartments, Ohana Home Japan, La Bassac, RHB Bank, and Snowbell Hotel all left with over 100 red hot leads.The retail side of the show wasn’t without its heavy hitters either.Carmaker Nissan reported that a lucky buyer rode home in a new $50,000 luxury vehicle bought at the show. Honda, on the other hand, sold four motorbikes for around $3,000 each. Sofa Shop, a furniture retailer, sold eight pieces during the show worth nearly $10,000 combined. Sales figures are still streaming in from the huge event. However, Realestate.com.kh hopes to surpass the record from its previous event, which generated around $30 million in sales.  “This event proves that Cambodia’s real estate sector is more alive than its ever been. Indeed, the future looks bright,” said O’Sullivan.End Of Year Property Sale set for November 27th & 28thRealestate.com.kh is excited to announce the sixth iteration of its hugely successful event series.

The traditional Chinese practice of feng shui aims to harmonise individuals with their surrounding environment. Many Westerners incorrectly think this is just about furniture arrangement. However, it’s much more than that. Many believe proper feng shui can bring happiness and luck to any space, whether that be your home or working place. Throughout history, feng shui has been used to organise urban areas, parks, homes and even tombs. Feng shui’s primary directives involve making inhabitants feel refreshed and hopeful.In a nutshell, feng shui is more than moving your sofa to the other side of the room. You don’t even need to buy anything to boost the energy of your own space. Here are five main aspects of feng shui that can help bring a little ancient Chinese energy to your home.SunlightHomes that follow traditional feng shui should take advantage of natural light as much as possible. After all, electricity is a recent technology. In the past, it was important to let the sunlight into your house so you could see. Now, however, it’s still important to let the sunlight into your living space. Sunlight can lift your mood and reduce stress. It makes rooms feel open and free. Plus, getting a little bit more vitamin D never hurts, right? Under traditional feng shui guidelines, sunlight was thought to ward off evil spirits.ColourColour is another essential element of feng shui. Just like light, colour was thought to affect the energy and flow of a certain space. Of course, light colours have warming and lifting energy. On the other hand, dark colors are believed to be heavy and cold. It is recommended that you use dark and light colours in combination to fit the feeling of each room. The tones must be compatible. For instance, blue and white are two colours that are thought to look harmonic together. This is one aspect of feng shui that is already familiar to people in the West. Decorators are already familiar with complementary colours and clashing colours.PlantsPlants play an important role in any home decoration. Indeed, a home that follows the techniques of feng shui is no different. Plants are, of course, living organisms so the fact that they produce energy is undeniable. Scientific studies have often supported the fact that rooms with plants feel more relaxed and comfortable. In feng shui, plants are particularly powerful if they are in places where you see them in the morning.AirHave you ever complained that a room feels too “stuffy”? Maybe there just wasn’t enough airflow. In feng shui, having enough natural air movement is pivotal in bringing energy to space. Proponents of this practice say that fresh air contributes to the health of inhabitants and improves vitality.Cleaning on a daily basisLastly, you may not know that cleanliness is a big part of feng shui. It is said that clutter and disrepair cause negative energy to enter a space. Try getting rid of anything unnecessary and reducing your possessions. Many in the US are following the teaching of Marie Kondo from Japan who instructs her students to get rid of anything that doesn’t “spark joy.” This idea jives with that of feng shui.Stay up-to-date on the real estate industry in Cambodia and get real-time updates on real estate news as they happen.

Do you dream of having a passport that allows your family to travel freely anywhere in the world at any time? Would you like to obtain permanent residency for your family and live the American, Australian or Irish dream?It is possible! And, it’s easier than ever! By investing in real estate in countries like Cyprus, Malta, Grenada, Antigua, Ireland, Australia or America, your family can receive a green card, permanent residency, or even full citizenship.What is the best pathway for your family to achieve their dream?Most families don’t think about immigration until their children reach high school or university. Parents want their children to have the best international education. Greg Bryant, who represents Golden Gate Global, says:"We have helped more than 1,200 investors through the EB-5 process (pathway to US green card). I would say 80% did it for their children and education. With our current project, the Emerald in Seattle, Washington, we will help 60 families achieve the American dream."However, not every person or family wants to relocate to America. What if you are a single business person or family who just wants the ability to travel more freely around the world? Perhaps an American green card does not fit your lifestyle.People who want more freedom of mobility often choose to pursue Citizenship by Investment (CBI). By investing in real estate in Grenada, Antigua, Cyprus, or Malta, families can acquire some of the most powerful passports in the world allowing them to travel visa free to at least 140 countries. Some passports even have visa-free access to more than 180 nations!By investing into the Levera Nature and Beach Resort in the Caribbean island of Grenada, a family can receive Grenadian passports within three months. In fact, not only can parents and children receive passports but the parents of the main applicants can also receive passports. With a Grenada passport, your family can travel to more than 130 countries visa free, including most of Europe, the UK, China, Russia and Australia.Grenada is also the only Citizenship by Investment passport that has access to the American E2 Visa, which can give your family long-term residency and access to education in the USA.The choice between countries like the US, Australia, and Ireland, which offer permanent residency with a clear path to citizenship, and passport programs like Grenada, Antigua, Malta and Cyprus is really about what an individual or family truly desires.If they want to live the American, Australian or Irish dream and relocate to these countries, it can be done through property investment. If a family wants increased global mobility, and the ability to travel visa free around the world, Grenada, Antigua, Malta and Cyprus offer a clear strategy and fast access to powerful passports.Pearl Bay Consulting is extremely excited to be hosting property developers from America, Grenada, Antigua, and Ireland at this year’s Home & Lifestyle Expo in Phnom Penh. It’s all happening at Koh Pich on April 26 and 27.Pearl Bay has also invited American immigration attorney John Meyer (Foster Global Law firm), and registered Australian immigration agent James Hall (ANZ Immigration) to help you better understand the immigration process to America and Australia.Make sure to register for the expo and stop in to say hello.

The Peninsula Garden Residences just held their official launch event last Thursday. This exciting new complex will become a landmark of the up-and-coming Chroy Changvar area. Indeed, it’s sure to become one of the hottest districts of the city in the coming years.This massive ceremony went over extremely well. The building is filling up fast, however, there are still a few open spots for those who are interested in buying property.Chroy Changvar is still relatively unknown to many people. The area across the river will soon be an extension of the CBD, however. The Peninsula will stand 25 storeys high and be an icon of style, elegance and class as Chroy Changvar develops.Best of both worldsJust across the river from Daun Penh, Chroy Changvar offers both serenity and convenience.

Khmer New Year is here again. It’s a time of year when many people pack up and take a trip. Many chose to travel around Asia. But tourism to locations in Cambodia is on the rise, too. Of course, everyone knows about Siem Reap and Sihanoukville. But if you’ve been in Cambodia for a while chances are you’ve already been there. So we’ve decided to look at places that won’t be crowded with tourist.Here’s our guide to the other places in Cambodia you should consider visiting this year:MondulkiriIt’s the largest and most sparsely populated province in Cambodia. So, it’s no surprise that most of the province’s best features are its natural wonders. It hosts pine tree forests, mountains, coffee plantations and is home to most of the country’s elephants.The waterfalls in Mondulkiri are quite popular. Most well-known are:Sen Monorom Waterfall is a short trip from the provincial capital.Bou Sra Waterfall is a short drive from Sen Monorom. It’s one of the largest in the country.Romnea Waterfall is just 10 kilometres from Sen Monorom. Eugene Morozov, a Russian expat, said he recently rode his motorbike to Mondulkiri from Phnom Penh, but in the future would opt for a bus because of poor road quality.“There isn’t much to do besides hiking and experiencing nature. But it’s not hard to find guesthouses in Sen Monorom,” he added.KepRight down the road from Kampot, Kep is still off the beaten path for tourism. It won’t be for long, however. The area has beautiful beaches, an amazing wildlife park, organic pepper farms and a sleepy vibe.Rabbit Island just offshore is great for a few days, or stop by the butterfly gardens outside of town. And don’t forget to order a crab dish at one of the seafood shacks next to the market. Guesthouses and bungalows are still the main types of accommodation here. There are still a couple of larger hotels, however. It’s easy enough to catch a bus or taxi to Kep, or even take a tuk-tuk there from Kampot.Exploring old colonial villas is quite popular in Kep. Read all about old French design in the country over at our guide to colonial buildings in Cambodia.BattambangBattambang is usually just known for its agriculture. The province has tons of quirks that you won’t find else, however. First off, it is one of the best places in Cambodia to find French colonial buildings. In fact, many of these places have been converted into guesthouses, so you can experience them first hand. Don’t forget to capture it with plenty of Instagram pics!There’s also the ruins of Wat Banan, from the 10th century. It may not be as huge as Angkor Wat but you can bet it won’t be swarmed with tourists either.We can’t forget the famed Bamboo Train, either. Known as “Nori,” the cars are wooden platforms powered by small gas engines. For $5 you can tour the entire area in a truly unique way.For a deeper dive into all things Battambang, read our ultimate guide to Battambang to find out more.KratieSitting right on the Mekong river in northeast Cambodia is Kratie province. This place is definitely not a typical tourist location. On the other hand, many stop here for a night when bussing between Cambodia and southern Laos.Check out Koh Trong, an island in the middle of the Mekong. Kratie is also known as a place to see the river’s elusive dolphins. It can be tricky to catch a sighting. But it’s about the journey not the destination, right?Sok Sothea, a Khmer language teacher and avid traveller, said he had stopped in Kratie three times on trips to other parts of Cambodia.“There are a lot of colonial buildings there. I also like to visit Wat Sasau 100, or Pagoda of 100 Pillars,” he said.Because it isn’t a huge tourist spot, there’s a smaller selection of accommodations in Kratie. They’re all affordable, however, so stay for a night or two and see what life is like.Koh KongKoh Kong is usually looked over in favour of Sihanoukville next door. It gained the spotlight briefly in 2017 when plans were announced for an airport there. Read the whole story here.Being near to the Thai border means there are a couple of casinos here. If you want to discover more about the gaming industry in the Kingdom, read our guide to casinos in Cambodia.The province is still much more low-key than Sihanoukville. Sothea, who has been there twice, said that he liked to go for walks through mangrove forests there.“There are so many hotels there and lots of good restaurants,” he said, adding that the roads were excellent by Cambodian standards.“I recommend taking a drive along the National Road 48 Bridge. It’s one of the longest in the country.”A traveller's paradiseThere you have it! Five spots that are off the beaten path in terms of tourism. These spots are growing in popularity. Especially as more Cambodians enter the middle class and have more disposable income. Tourism is such a large part of the Kingdom's economy, however. It's safe to say that some of these places will become as significant in coming years as Siem Reap, Sihanoukville and Kampot are today.If you want to learn more about how tourism plays into the economy in Cambodia be sure to browse through our 2019 Investment Guide. It has tons of information about every sector of the market here. And, of course, read through all of our location profiles to learn about all the different areas of Cambodia.

As the middle class grows in the Kingdom, more people want quality brand-name goods at a good price. Everything under the sunSo what’s actually going to be at the event?
