Travel Experience

Learn what it is like to live in Laos by visiting Rivertime Ecolodge Resort. Our rural location located an hour outside of the city of Vientiane offers guests the opportunity to experience Lao countryside, people and culture. This hidden oasis gives an authentic Laotian experience that you can’t get anywhere else in the city.

Responsibility

As an ecolodge, we maintain a protective focus on nature and indigenous culture. We work in harmony with the area villages, employ local staff and support education and community development. The ecolodge used local labour and local materials for construction work, employs only local Lao staff and contributes financially to local education and development projects. The management, owners and partners of Rivertime Resort and Ecolodge have couple main aims: 1. To provide visitors to Laos with a genuine experience of Lao nature, Lao culture and the Lao people which will be educational, rewarding and memorable. 2. To play a significant role in the protection, preservation and promotion of the Lao natural environment. 3. To provide opportunities to underprivileged Lao children and improve the educational environment both locally and nationally.

Business Case

The resort offers a variety of day trips and activities. Activities and facilities in our resort include trekking and cycling, fishing, boat trips, kayaking, tubing, local school and village tours, a floating restaurant, traditional massage, Lao \'Baci\' ceremonies, and a small Internet café for guests with wi-fi in all rooms most of the time. As an ecolodge, Rivertime Resort provide a reasonable rate of return on investment for the initial shareholders in the resort, without whose contribution the building of the resort would not have been possible.
