Overview
Imagine traveling to another country.
Imagine your very presence there benefiting the people and the environment.
When you travel with Imagine, you travel responsibly.
Imagine Cambodia was created to make a difference in people’s lives. To find ways to benefit both the traveler and the countries they visit, and to discover as much about each other’s culture as possible.
Imagine Angkor Hotel and Imagine Cambodia Adventures, employs and contracts with local non-profit organizations whenever possible to provide its services and products. Imagine Angkor Hotel operates a hospitality vocational program, which provides free training to vulnerable Cambodians so they may rise out of poverty and have a better future. Imagine Cambodia purchased vans for the Life and Hope Association (NGO) so they can transport orphans as needed. Imagine Cambodia then rents those vans from the Life and Hope Association to provide transportation to its guests. It shares staff with local NGOs as well, paying 80% of their salary in exchange for 20% of their time. This way the NGO benefits by enjoying a professional staff without baring the burden of high salaries. Many of the products used by Imagine Cambodia Adventures are provided by a local sewing vocational school. It also supports local musicians, artists, and crafts people by providing jobs and purchasing their products. Imagine is environmentally conscious as well, buying green and educating guests about the local ecosystem. Imagine Guests always have the opportunity to volunteer their time and talents and get involved with and donate to local community projects.
