ABOUTAsia Travel is a bespoke travel company specializing in responsible, sustainable travel throughout Cambodia and Southeast Asia, with its head offices in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The company was formed in 2008 by former international investment banker Andy Booth as a model of sustainable, responsible tourism in a developing country. On a family trip to Cambodia in 2003, Andy Booth learned that the majority of tour agencies operating in the country were based overseas, with only one in six tourist dollars spent in Cambodia remaining in-country and little economic benefit reaching the Khmer people. Convinced that tourism could be done in a sustainable fashion, Booth moved to Siem Reap, Cambodia in 2007 to develop a sustainable travel company with a philanthropic bent, in which the profits were donated to support rural public schools through partner non-profit, ABOUTAsia Schools; with the Cambodian government spending less than US$3 per student per year, ABOUTAsia Schools supplies "books, computers and other materials." In 2013, the foundation was supporting 108 Cambodian schools and over 53,000 students. More information...
