Travel Experience

Le Tonlé Tourism Training Center is also a 13 rooms guesthouse located in the center of Kratie, in North East of Cambodia. We also have a restaurant providing Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Our restaurant offers traditional Khmer dishes and western food.

Responsibility

To expand the impact scope and provide more opportunities in different aspects of tourism and hospitality, a second Le Tonlé center was established in Kratie town in late 2013. The new training center is equipped with practical facilities such as kitchen, a classroom, a welcoming ground floor restaurant, and a classic 9 bedroom guesthouse in a traditional wooden stilt house. In 2014, CRDT decided to focus its efforts on the guesthouse in Kratie, which hosts more tourists, and closed the Stung Treng guesthouse. Aims & Objectives 1) To contribute to poverty reduction and ecological conservation of Cambodia by introducing responsible, sustainable tourism and by training the local population to cater for tourists. 2) To give theoretical and practical training to young disadvantaged Cambodians in the different areas of tourism professions to enable them to obtain varied and worthwhile careers. 3) To provide quality training in response to the requirements of tourism professionals in Cambodia. 4) To integrate the values of responsible tourism in the training.

Business Case
