Destination News
Team insights: This month our sustainability team created a new challenge. We teamed up and met the street vendors to raise awareness about plastic bag pollution and encouraged them to change their habits. We distributed over 1,600 biodegradable bags made from cassava starch produced right here in Cambodia.
Reminder, Eliminating single-use plastic bottles:
Plastic water bottles are no longer provided to guests on tour. Guides will remind travellers to bring reusable bottles and point them to convenient refill stations throughout their journey. With Cambodia’s well-established infrastructure providing easy access to clean drinking water, sustainability can be prioritised without impacting guests’ comfort. Please ensure this message is communicated clearly, so guests are well-prepared for their travels.
