About Asia Travel

Business Overview

Borei Brembrei, Trapeang Seh Village, Kok Chork Commune, Siem Reap, Cambodia.

Cambodia travel information and Angkor Wat tour specialists ABOUTAsia are based in Siem Reap just 4km from Angkor Wat. At the heart of the organisation is a guiding research centre providing Cambodia vacation advice and industry leading tours planning.

Founder's Story

Andy Booth, former investment banker, retired from the City of London and visited Cambodia as part of a family vacation. Struck by the poverty and lack of development so close to the luxury hotels housing visitors to Angkor, he resolved to make a difference: Andy founded a travel company to provide a sustainable source of income to support schools around Siem Reap.

Educating Cambodia's Children

In spite of its rich cultural heritage, the UNESCO-protected Angkor Wat and associated temples, Siem Reap is a poor rural province. Having built a school, Andy realized that ongoing support made more of an impact – the average annual budget for each child is less than 3 US Dollars (2010-11 Education Statistics, Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport).

ABOUTAsia Schools now supplies children with books and stationery, uniforms, computers, classroom refurbishments and supports English classes through volunteer teaching assistants, and employed teachers. By the end of the school year in 2012, we supported over 50,000 children in nearly 100 schools.

Unique Experiences
