Phnom Penh’s mayor, Kep Chuktema, said yesterday a Japanese company, JC Royal, had signed a 30-year deal to manage the Cheoung Ek "killing fields" genocide memorial on the outskirts of the capital for an initial payment of £8,000 that will be repeated annually.
The firm will have to plant trees and flowers at the site, which is home to a memorial tower of 8,000 human skulls, as well as build other visitor facilities, he said. In return, it will be able to charge foreign tourists an admission fee of £1.60 - an increase from 26p. Khmers, who have always been allowed in for free, will have to pay 7p.
