Why work with Ayana Journeys?

 Why work with Ayana Journeys?
We are passionate about showcasing parts of Cambodia
that most visitors will never discover - whether it is off-thebeaten-track destinations, or providing insightful tours
about the country’s rich culture.
We provide experiential learning journeys that appeal to
curious minds of all ages.
All experiences aim to genuinely connect you with the
people and their stories that make this place truly the
Kingdom of Wonder.
We are dedicated to connecting you with fascinating and
inspirational projects and initiatives, with responsible travel
at the heart of everything we do.
Ayana – the meaning behind the name
Ayana comes from Pali, a sacred ancient language, and
means the journey to enlightenment.
We love this name, and chose it as our own, as we believe
it complements our vision for our travel experiences.
Ayana Journeys’ tours are carefully handcrafted to give
our guests unique, insightful, and eye-opening experiences.
We believe that by learning as we travel, and through
responsible tourism, we can become more open-minded,
and gain a greater sense of empathy towards others.
Local expertise and investment
Our team is made up of Cambodia based experts, all
dedicated to providing immersive and ethical adventures.
We are proud to be supported by a network of engaged
community members willing to share their stories with you –
from passionate individuals dedicated to conserving the
rich Khmer cultural heritage, to farmers cultivating fresh
delicious produce, to Buddhist monks who play a crucial
role in day-to-day life for many Cambodians. It is these
interactions that will give you a life-changing holiday
experience.
All places we visit benefit greatly from direct investment we
make to those sites, communities, or organisations. In rural
locations, we work with local people who can generate an
alternative livelihood from tourism.
We have strong HR policies that give our staff the benefits
they deserve. Full time employees are encouraged and
financially supported to pursue further education…as well
as travel more!
Credibility
In 2015 Ayana began delivering all PEPY Tours
educational adventures in Cambodia.
“PEPY Tours is proud to be working with the Ayana team as our ground
operator in Cambodia. Members of Ayana have been working with PEPY
Tours since 2009, and I was delighted when this wonderful team came
together to launch Ayana Journeys. I believe in their commitment to running
ethical, educational, and unique adventures and having Ayana Journeys
as our implementing partner in Cambodia helps ensure that our commitment
to local development programmes continues through Ayana’s responsible
travel model. I look forward to continuing to work with the Ayana Journeys
team long into the future.”
