LOS ANGELES, April 2010 –Travel Indochina, a leading specialist in Asia travel, fosters sustainable tourism with its uniquely crafted 14-day ‘Indochina Footprints’ journey so travelers visiting Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos can give something back to the places they visit.
Known for its dedication to offering travelers the real Asia, Travel Indochina has long been committed to creating and upholding the highest standards for responsible travel. ‘Indochina Footprints’ is just one example of how the tour operator has created enriching travel experiences that promote conservation and a sense of community. For every person booked on a Footprints journey, Travel Indochina will make a $100 donation to the causes featured in the journey and carbon offset the operation of each departure.
“Responsible travel or ‘ecotourism’ has grown by 30 percent compared to traditional leisure travel,” said David Rothschild, Travel Indochina director of sales and marketing. “In Asia where visitors go to explore the land’s natural beauty, consumer interest for sustainable experiences is high. This 40th anniversary of Earth Day further gives the world community a coordinated opportunity to respect the cultures and people of those environments.”
