We have a special relationship with Inside Out Travel Cambodia Co. Ltd – having started this business many years ago (in 2009) as a pilot model of social enterprise. We eventually sold the business in 2012 to our faithful Cambodian manager, Ms. Chanthol Hoes – who has since grown the business from strength to strength. Recently, we conducted a Social Impact Assessment (SIA) for Inside Out Travel Cambodia including detailed summary report. Together with the SIA we are also providing a range of business planning advice associated with helping Inside Out Travel Cambodia acquire investment funding or grants to enable further business growth. Check out our recent blog posts for more about our journey with Inside Out Travel Cambodia and in particular, Chanthol’s story of leading this social business through early stages of growth!
