The Collective
About Our Partnerships
The concept of travel we follow comes forth of the personal experiences we have on a daily basis living and breathing our region. This is home, and we love to share it with you! We offer a unique and immersive travel experience for you. One that takes you to places only we know about. Even around the highlights of Angkor Wat, Luang Prabang or Halong Bay, we know a way around to avoid the crowds and create an experience far away from the maddening crowds.
We work tirelessly to ensure that your trip is tailored to your preference and interests. Our believe is that your journey should be more than just a vacation; it should be an enriching experience that broadens horizons and creates memories that last a lifetime. Not just for you, but also for your hosts. This belief and approach has driven our success locally, and has put us in a position where we can consult on humanitarian and sustainable development projects, goverment regulations and help with community training and capacity building.
Lolei Travel is in comparison a very small company, but the impact we want to make needs to be lasting. We have been doing this since 1995 and would not have stayed on top by just following the herds and enriching ourselves. The partnerships we have in the region with our guides, drivers, hotels, restaurateurs, officials, airlines, communities and all other people that make your journey possible, go way beyond the exchange of services. Trust is for us the key word.
We enjoy the partnerships we have around the region and make sure that the partnerships we have are personally managed and closely maintained. We select our partners carefully based on their vision and care systems, their HR systems and quality. We encourage our partners to follow the international standards for you as our guest, but also for the local people. For example, Lolei Travel only works with licensed guides, drivers with a proper license and insurance, hotels and restaurants with good HR management who offer their staff holidays, proper wages, health insurance and a safe working environment. Most of the people that work for Lolei Travel have started from an early age, just out of university, and worked themselves up to a position they take pride in. Rather than hiring people from other companies, we create commitment by training our team in- and outside of the office. Lolei Travel is a family where we trust one another and are all committed and dedicated to same principles of creating intimate travel experiences for our guests, and leave a positive impact on the life of the people we work with on a daily basis. Yet, we continue to learn from our guests and partners, try to improve ourselves by listening to all the feedback and educate ourselves in the fields where we need to improve.
Our Presence
Lolei Travel is well represented and has an active voice in the tourism sector of each destination we serve. We work closely with different stakeholders to achieve the most important objective of all: to create a unified and sustainable tourism product and image of our destinations.
We are very active in each country and members of different organizations and tourism bodies, both governmental and non-governmental, that advocate for better and more sustainable development of our destinations and communities. We engage in discussions and help develop policies, training programs and guidelines. This requires intense dedication but allows Lolei Travel to be in a position where we can work with different stakeholders, keeping sustainability in mind. This benefits you as our guest, the loal communities and their developments as our parter, and it helps our position as a small but impactful and responsible tour operator.
All that effort has caused NGO’s and governments to knock on our door for professional consultancy. Management and senior members of our team are often asked to join short term projects or provide feedback on development to steer projects into a more sustainable direction. It is a part of our daily life we enjoy, and allows us to give you deeper access and understanding of the region.
