THE VITAL ROLE OF TOURISM

The magnificent Kingdom of Cambodia is still recovering from its recent tragichistory. Things are progressing here but not as quickly as they might.


Tourism is playing a vital role in helping the country overcome the difficulties of

the past and move towards a bright and positive future. In practicing andpromoting truly responsible tourism over the past four years, Mango has seenencouraging results.

In 2009 Mango began raising funds to support a local-run village school ofEnglish in rural Cambodia, helping to secure the school's future for more thantwo years. Weve contributed towards the building and stocking of the schoollibrary and donated a wide screen television, DVD player and a selection ofDVDs, giving students the opportunity to learn from international resources aswell as their own. Returning Mango clients from Calgary in Canada held afundraiser for the school in their home town. The money raised will go to furthersustain and develop the school.

CCH logoWe support a selection of hand-picked, fully transparent organizations - such asthe Centre for Childrens Happiness which nurture children from disadvantagedbackgrounds. These organizations offer children, many of whom formerly livedon the streets or at the municipal rubbish dump, the chance to receive a goodeducation and to be cared for in a safe, loving home. Some of Mangos clientshave been inspired to sponsor the education of a specific child (or children).They often keep in touch with the kids from overseas via email, sending birthdaygifts to those who might otherwise not get any.

We strive to have a positive influence on the people and communities of

Cambodia. By offering them opportunities and enabling them to develop andimprove their lives, we believe we really can make a difference. By booking withMango, so can you.

As a ChildSafe travel partner we help to protect children fromthe potential negative impacts of tourism. We aim to provide a saferenvironment for children by raising awareness of the issues with our clients andtraining all Mango tour leaders and guides in ChildSafe practises.

news-footage of Khmer Rouge atrocities and Princess Diana tending Cambodianlandmine victims have combined with general preconceptions about what lifemust be like in a "developing" country to make Cambodia the last place somewould even consider as a holiday destination.But prepare to be surprised!Cambodia is developing more quickly than you might imagine! Phnom Penh isnow a vibrant, fascinating city with wide, tree-lined boulevards, luscious parks, alively riverfront, colonial architecture, museums, art galleries, tasteful

monuments and an eclectic mix of wonderful bars, restaurants, hotels and clubs.A handful of sky scrapers is beginning to emerge on the horizon but it's nothinglike on the scale of Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur.....yet! There is something trulyauthentic about this place, something of the "old Asia" that cannot fail to charm.Explore the city in a delightful tuk-tuk or gentile cyclo on your holidays inCambodia. It's an experience you'll never forget - and one that is fastdisappearing.

Cambodia Weather

The best time to visit Cambodia is from November to February when the weather

is good, the heat bearable and its dry. November is a good month to visit as theheat is at a minimum and the landscape still maintains an emerald green fromthe rainy season. This period however is also when most people journey toCambodia and crowds at the temples are rather large. However, if you wantsunshine and perfect blue skies this is the time of year to visit.From March to May is the hottest time of year with temperatures and humidityreaching levels that most tourists find uncomfortable but crowds are at aminimum so on the plus side you will enjoy the main sites all to yourself!

Another excellent time to visit is during the rainy season from June to Mid-October - this is when Cambodia is at its most stunning with beautiful emeraldfields, the temples of Angkor are spectacular with lilies in full bloom in thetemple' ponds and usually there aren't many tourists around. Hotels offer lowseason discounts so it's a good time of year for competitive prices. It does rainduring the day but showers tend to be mid afternoon, early evening for an houror so - thus as long as you time your sightseeing correctly this is not a problem.With our expertise we can help you plan your itinerary accordingly. For people

who don't like the heat this is also a good time to visit as temperatures arelower.

One of the most frequent questions our clients and friends overseas ask us is: 'IfCambodia is Safe?'Cambodia may not spring to mind as the most obvious holiday choice; a place toenjoy precious time away from the stresses and strains of everyday life. Archivenews-footage of Khmer Rouge atrocities and Princess Diana tending Cambodianlandmine victims have combined with general preconceptions about what lifemust be like in a 'developing' country to make Cambodia the last place somewould even consider as a holiday destination.

Recent stories in tabloids about Angelina's 'danger trip' in Cambodia don't help toreassure people that Cambodia is in fact a safe place to travel, thus the answerto the question 'Is Cambodia safe?' is most definitely yes! Of course in the pastthe country was largely inaccessible and a very dangerous place but that was 20years ago!


32/108

Today Cambodia is a relatively safe place to travel. The usual diligence should betaken as you would in any capital city in the world but overall most visitors findCambodia safer than places like London, Rome or New York.Here are a few Mango travel tips to help you stay safe:

Bag Snatching: disparity in wealth does make foreigners an attractive target forbag snatchings. Sensible precautions should be taken to avoid opportunistictheft. Be on your guard against pickpockets and bag snatchers. You shouldremain particularly vigilant against theft when using public transportation,including inter-city buses, tuk-tuks and motos. Use safety boxes in your hotel tostore your valuables and only travel with the essentials. Watch your bags andhold on to them in tuks tuks. Especially late at night be vigilant. However if youdo get robbed don't try and resist and just hand everything over.Road Accidents: By far the biggest threat to your safety is traffic accidents. Withappalling drivers and improved roads that allow for faster driving, the rate offatal road accidents is increasing. Always ensure you travel with a safe driver, inan insured vehicle and never travel on intercity roads after dark as this isperilous. At night there are no road lights on intercity roads, trucks and carstravel with no headlights and the road conditions are very dangerous. Refrainfrom using moto-taxis or going on a motorbike with no helmet. And be carefulcrossing the roads as traffic can come from any direction!Landmines: there are an estimated 6 million landmines left in Cambodia from thecivil war. The main tourist areas have now all been cleared and prove no danger.

Most of the landmines are found in the north of the country along the borderwith Thailand and the old Ho Chi Minh Trail. If you travel in the more remoteprovinces in the North East and North West (excluding Battambang town) of thecountry in these remote areas don't stray from the roads and main paths.Food Safety: you shouldn't face any problems eating in established and localrestaurants in the main towns. Ice is fine and so are vegetables and most localfoods. People do often suffer from an upset stomach but this is also a directresult of being in a different country and from the heat etc. rather than the fooditself. Our suggestion is to try local food but avoid market stalls or shacks in thecountryside whilst restaurants with a lot of clientele and which have menus andproper facilities are generally fine.Malaria: This is one of the most asked questions and we cannot offer concreteadvice as we are not doctors or experts. However there is very little or nomalaria at all in Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, Kep and Battambang. Unless you areplanning to stay deep in the countryside in a wooden hut with no mosquito netsetc. then you have very little risk of catching malaria. The only areas I would say


33/108

to definitely take precautions are the remote provinces of Mondulkiri andRatanakiri and the Pailin area. At the end of the day nobody wants to catchmalaria so if you are only traveling for a few weeks it makes sense to takeprecautions.

From Mango Clients

Tom and Lorri (couple, Canada)

Not to sound too melodramatic, it was due to your

approach to tourism, we felt we left behind something of

ourselves with the people we met and they certainly left a

strong impression on us. In all the other travels we have

done in Asia, this is the first time I feel we really

experienced a country.

Alexandra (Australia)

"It's safe to say Cambodia was our favorite/most

memorable stop in all of SE Asia and we owe this

in large part to the enriching experiences our

guides provided for us. We only had a few days in

Phnom Penh but we learned so much in so little

time. People say IF you decide to visit PP (usually

en route to Angkor Wat in Siem Reap) you'll

probably just want to visit the Killing Fields,

Choeung Ek. I am so happy I disregarded this

advice."

Varni and Rehana (Australia)

"From the initial email we sent to Mango Cambodia, right

to flying out from Phnom Penh, Mango Cambodia

ensured that our tour was tailored to suit our interests

and budget."

Merlin (group of 14, Malaysia)We really enjoyed our holiday in Cambodia

especially meeting the children. Of course without

Mango I think it would not be so enjoyable, so there

is only one word of feedback that we want to send

to you which is: "MANGO CAMBODIA! YOU ARE

THE BEST"

Caroline (Bushey, UK)

"It is very difficult to put into words how much I enjoyed

our holiday with Mango. It was more than a holiday it was

a glimpse of a country as you know it. You did so much

for us to make it special it was truly wonderful, it really

was. It has enriched my understanding of how people livetheir lives and given me insight into the culture, the

country and its generous and happy people. Thank you

for enabling us such a privilege."

From Mango Clients

Nigel (group of 4, Indonesia)

Thanks for your efforts, we had a great trip. The tour

guide [in Siem Reap] was brilliant - as you know his

knowledge of the Hindu and Buddhist history and stories

were second to none. The cycle trip was the highlight.

I entrusted the organization of my first visit to

Cambodia to the lovely folks at Mango. I havent

regretted that decision for a moment. The tours

were first rate and the guides were informative and

great companions. All the hotels were excellent

choices, lovely oases after a busy day touring. My

favorite moments were swimming at the Kulen

waterfalls, the temples (all of them!), and lunch with

Sophea's family.

Sherry (solo traveler, UK)

Increase in Higher Education in Cambodia due to TourismSeptember 17, 2012

Khim Borin, a 26-year-old tour guide by day and law student by night, says he wants to become a

lawyer. But he sometimes has trouble staying awake in class during the high tourist season,

when he spends hours scaling vertiginous temple steps and baking in the tropical sun.

I tell my friends, 'Hit me if you see me falling asleep', he said.

The son of a broken and impoverished household, Mr. Khim Borin worked as a bartender and a

masseur and installed air-conditioners at hotels before becoming a tour guide. He summarizes

his life as 'hard but happy.'

The five universities in Siem Reap currently enroll more than 10,000 students. Most of the

campuses, which are scattered around the town, are quiet during the day but come to life with the

buzz of students' motorcycles as soon as the sun sets.

Background

Mango Cambodia was founded by British scriptwriter Anji Loman Field in the spring of 2006, initially to fill a gap inthe excursion market.

When Anji first arrived in Phnom Penh to work on a BBC drama series, she had never been to a developing

country before. There were so many things I wanted to see and do but I was nervous about travelling alone.

There didnt seem to be any tour companies offering day trips or accompanied excursions. This frustration led to

collaboration with Anjis Cambodian friends, which sowed the first seeds of Mango Cambodia as it is today.

Mangos one-day excursions led on to two day tours and then long

weekend breaks, until gradually the company found itself operating

longer tours. It was a natural progression to set up Mango Cambodia as

an officially registered and fully bonded inbound tour company.

In late 2007 Mango officially launched its Signature, Made-to-Measure

and innovative Pickage holidays. The companys goal is to provide

unique itineraries for people who are interested in more than just

pagodas and statues who really want to connect with the culture,

history, countryside and people of Cambodia.

ITINERARY DESIGN

When designing itineraries, Mango considers how to enable their discerning clients:


50/108

To have adventures but in safety and comfort not too risky but still exciting and intriguing.

To make a real connection with local people, chatting to them about their lives and really getting to

understand their culture and lifestyle.

Not to feel packaged and to (sometimes) be in the only vehicle in the car park!

To learn about the culture, history and politics of the country and its people.

To be travelling with interesting, interested people.

To sample local cuisine that has been hygienically prepared and adapted to the western palate (no claw

or beak in the chicken curry!)

To enjoy a wide variety of experiences and see things that are not on the normal tourist trail.

To stay (where possible) in comfortable, individual boutique accommodation rather than large,

impersonal hotels.

To have opportunities to be hands-on, to actually try their hands at some of the things the locals do such

as harvesting rice or riding an ox cart.

Not to be shepherded into shopping emporiums just because the driver is on commission!

Smiley People - Meet the Mango Team

Anji Loman Field

Founder & Executive Director

Anji Loman Field, the founder of Mango Cambodia, enjoyed a successful

television career in the UK, first researching and producing educational

programmes before switching to writing drama scripts. She wrote extensively

for flagship BBC shows such as EastEnders, Holby City and Doctors as well

as movies and a comedy drama series for the German market. She has also

written several plays for BBC Radio 3 and Radio 4.

This background stood Anji in good stead to turn her hand to writing educational drama for development, so when

a job came up with the BBC World Service Trust in Cambodia she jumped at the chance to do something different

with her life. She came to Cambodia in March 2005 to write Taste of Life (click BBC logo), a drama seriesdesigned to educate viewers about HIV and AIDS as well as maternal and child health.

Anji soon fell in love with Cambodia and has been living here, pretty much, ever since. But when she first arrived,

she was nervous about exploring alone and there didnt seem to be any tour companies offering day trips or

accompanied excursions. Always keen to find solutions to problems, Anji collaborated with her Cambodian friends

to create her own day trips and detours, which sowed the first seeds of Mango Cambodia as it is today. Having

organised countless group holidays for friends and family over the years, Anji naturally found herself planning trips

for friends who were visiting Cambodia. Inspired by the people and places that had most impressed her, she

created unique itineraries which her visitors loved. In fact, what began as a simple social exercise had such rave

reviews that, in time, it became a natural progression to share the benefits by setting up Mango Cambodia as an

officially registered, fully bonded inbound tour company.

Still writing drama for development, Anji has been steadily building Mango Cambodias reputation, products and

services for nearly four years. She is passionate about Cambodia - its charming people, diverse culture, unique

heritage and stunning natural beauty. Her aim is for Mango Cambodias holidays and detours to touch the lives of

its clients in ways that will both surprise and delight.

Mr. Sophea Pheng

Operations Manager

The eldest of four children, Sophea grew up in Kandal province, where his

father was the village chief until 2007. He started primary school when he

was 6 years old. At that time, his family was very poor - the country had just

emerged from the Khmer Rouge regime, so people in rural communities had

to really struggle to rebuild their lives. Sopheas family did not have enoughfood and he had to work very hard to help out on their farm.

In 1993, he became a student at Tuol Basan secondary school and took his final exam in 1995. There were only

four students out of a hundred who passed the exam and Sophea was one of them! He continued to study until he

achieved his High School certificate and then moved to work and study Phnom Penh, obtaining his university

degree in 2007 - a BSc in IT.

Sophea has recently completed his MBA. He is very popular with Mango clients and particularly enjoys the

occasions when he accompanies them on the Phnom Penh Detour or Good Day, Cambodia. I enjoy my work at

Mango Cambodia very much!!! he says. We are proud of Sopheas accomplishments and see him as playing a

pivotal role in the future of Mango.

Mr. Sophanet Pheng (Phanet)

Office Manager

Phanet comes from a village in Kandal province, about 60 Km from Phnom

Penh city. His father (a farmer) and mother (a midwife) are proud that all four

of their children have gone on to university.

After graduating from school Phanet came to work and study in Phnom

Penh. He recently achieved his degree in Economics.

Phanet is Assistant Operations/Office Manager at Mango Cambodia. He speaks very good English, is charming

and gets on well with the Mango Cambodia team. He is a conscientious worker and enjoys his job, particularlywhen dealing with clients.


55/108

Piseth Im Chan

Operations Assistant

Piseth joined Mango Cambodia in February 2011 as Operations Assistant,

helping out with bookings, reservations and general admin as well as tours.

His personable nature and charm combine with good English language skills

to make him a valuable asset to the team. Piseth is in his third year at

university studying tourism and is expected to play an important role in the

future of Mango.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

THE VITAL ROLE

OF TOURISM

The magnificent Kingdom of Cambodia is still recovering from its recent tragic history. Things are progressing here

but not as quickly as they might.

Mango Cambodia supports local communities in all destinations and donates learning materials to the schools and

projects visited on tours. We are also actively involved in various specific projects: sponsoring young street

children through school; training young people in life and work skills and sponsoring our staff on various catering,

computer, business and management courses to help further their careers.

Tourism is playing a vital role in helping the country overcome the difficulties of the past and move towards a bright

and positive future. In practicing and promoting truly responsible tourism over the past four years, Mango has seen

encouraging results.
