Our Vision and Goals

AddThis Social Bookmark Button

Our goals are to improve the world and to convince others of their power to do the same. We accomplish this by offering life-changing educational tours to groups of inspiring people and introducing them to concepts and people we think are earth shattering. Our past participants then do their own “world-improving” from there! 
 

Our Mission

This Responsible Tourism Statement compiles the guidelines by which we aim to design our tours, and these are some of the goals we hope to achieve:

  • Inspire people to be more responsible donors, travelers, and global citizens and (re)awaken them to their power to enact the changes they want to see in the world.
  • Financially support PEPY Cambodia’s educational and youth programs and the work of our partners as well as being financially sustainable as a tour operator.
  • Focus on ‘learning service’ rather than ‘service learning’: offering participants the chance to learn about and learn from the communities they visit and connecting them to opportunities to extend their impact beyond the length of their journey.
  • Provide travelers with authentic opportunities to experience more of Cambodia’s culture while supporting local and responsible tourism initiatives.
  • Serve as a model tour company, both in Cambodia and in the field of responsible tourism globally, and help improve the industry by sharing the lessons we learn.

 

Our Vision

We hope to live in a world where:

  • both travelers and global communities recognize their own ability to be a part of enacting the changes they want to see in the world
  • all travelers and tour operators are educated about how to make responsible choices in travel and where they give their money
  • tourism dollars support the development of local livelihoods as well as benefit and protect local environments and cultures
  • travelers and locals behave respectfully towards each other and are able to exchange information and ideas that mutually benefit both parties
  • tours are designed around local needs, and local communities take ownership over tourism in their home areas
