Failed Eco-Tourism Development

The Sar Lar Investment company had spent US$2 million of the total projected US$6 million project budget to clear forests and construct a road to develop the Bou Sra Waterfall Eco Resort, but then pulled out of the project because of "capital concerns." The project was undertaken due to worries the waterfall, which is popular with tourists, is underdeveloped.[4]
