Travel to north east of Cambodia Province to experience the community real lives and help contribute economical benefit to local resident and conservation of endangered Irrawaddy dolphins.
Cambodia is an agricultural nation and 80 percent of populations are farmers. Specifically, Cambodia has many famous agricultural provinces. Significantly, Cambodia has potential in Agritourism, a type of special interest tourism that possibly accelerates tourism development to grow and enhance local resident living standard with the existing agricultural product.
Certainly, Cambodia Rural Development Team, a local NGO registered with the Ministry of Interior that bridges the gap between sustainable rural development and conservation to further degradation of Cambodia natural heritage, has been working in a project that promotes volunteer tourism to get involved in agricultural activities in Kratie.
The CRDT community development tour aims to offer foreign visitors to travel up the Mekong River from Kratie Town and visit the communities. It gives a rare glimpse of how Cambodian live in the countryside and how 'Dolphins for Development' project actually work (www.tourismindochina.com/religion-cambodia.htm). Visitors are able to travel with CRDT team to visit beneficiaries, learn about their lives and stories in their home as guest.
To get involved in the tour organized by CRDT to Koh Pdao, Kratie Province for 2 and half days is the way to contribute economic benefit to local community because CRDT is not the private organization. The tour totally costs 55 USD and 20 USD for each additional day. To participate in the tour help improve lives of the villagers and contribute to the conservation of the endangered Irrawaddy Dolphin.
