Setting up a sustainable eco-tourism business in Cambodia

Post by InterestedInvestor »

On a recent visit to Cambodia I was struck by the generosity of spirit of the local people and feel I would like to help. I am interested in setting up a foundation that would create and support an eco-tourism agency whose profits would return to the local community with the aim of improving sanitary conditions and education.

I understand that his would require a significant amount of paperwork and red tape, but having already run businesses in countries that appear to love that sort of thing, this does not surprise me. However, I am concerned about the reported corruption within the government departments and worry that the 'aid' that this venture intends to create would not get to the people intended.

I would appreciate any advice or contacts that may be able to point me in the right direction.

Thanks

PM is the best way. Probably not a good idea to post it in a public forum.
