Delve into the rich culture and history of Turkiye on an intoxicating journey across this incredible land.
A chance to explore breathtaking sights in three fascinating South American countries.
Cambodia is still rebuilding after the Khmer Rouge regime. The Angkor Wat complex just outside Siem Reap draws visitors from across the world and drives much of the local economy, yet the benefits of tourism rarely reach the country's most vulnerable communities. Training programmes, education and employment opportunities for adults remain in short supply.
New Hope is a training restaurant supporting young Khmers living on the edge of Siem Reap. Students gain hands-on cooking and hospitality training that builds the skills and confidence needed for lasting employment.
Planeterra worked with the New Hope Centre to build a fully operational training restaurant. Since then, thousands of travellers have visited the restaurant each year, and many of its trainees have gone on to build careers across the hospitality industry.
Traveller meals help to fund the education of over 1,000 students and provide free medical checkups a year through New Hope's Outreach programme, reaching some of the poorest communities around Siem Reap. The training programme runs for six months, and New Hope's local partners help place graduates in full time roles across the hotels, resorts and restaurants of the growing Siem Reap region.
You will visit the New Hope restaurant on the Secrets of the Mekong tour, and support the young people building their futures there.
Sail the Mekong River, visiting Cambodia's ancient temple cities and the local villages of Vietnam's river delta.
