We are a local travel company who actively participate in country development and help our community as we strongly believe that local people are the people who should get the most income from tourism. We recommend tourists to sleep in home stay, eating delicious local food such as Amok, support floating school at Tonle Sap lake by providing school kits. We strongly believe that poor schoolchildren with better education will have better future. In addition, we support some of the NGOs to help the kids with HIV/AIDS, we also support the Trailblazer Foundation www.thetrailblazerfoundation.org to provide water filter for the poor families.
Cambodia Cycling believes in a sustainable tourism. We promote cycling for 3 reasons. First, cycling is the best way to explore Indochina & Thailand. It is a great experience to cycle from Bangkok to Saigon along the big tree lines road around Angkor complex to the Mekong Delta. Secondly, for good health and we try to reduce gasoline consuming as much as possible. We estimate that we can rent our mountain bike around 1,440 bicycles/day per year. By doing this, we can save gasoline consuming at least 7,200 liters per year. We tryour best to fight also against global warming issue.
