Fair trade tourism : aware of the grow­ing con­cern for sus­tain­able devel­op­ment in the eyes of trav­el­ers, we are vig­or­ous­ly com­mit­ted towards being a respon­si­ble trav­el com­pa­ny by devel­op­ing sev­er­al activities: 

• Sup­port­ing projects for dis­ad­van­taged com­mu­ni­ties: rebuild­ing vil­lages, hous­es restora­tion, pro­vid­ing school neces­si­ties as well as pay­ing the school fee.
• Estab­lish respon­si­ble tours that help trav­el­ers to come into con­tact with local life with­in Indochi­nese penin­su­la. From 2011 to 2015, Secret Indochi­na has fund­ed about twen­ty fam­i­lies and vil­lages to cre­ate a sus­tain­able micro-econ­o­my that help these com­mu­ni­ties’ inhab­i­tants to reach a stan­dard that allows them to wel­come travelers.
• Part­ner with ser­vice providers that respect our respon­si­ble trav­el com­pa­ny charter. 
• Imple­ment an attrac­tive wage pol­i­cy as well as a social­ly respon­si­ble work process standard.

THONG NONG PROJECT

Secret Indochi­na has set up a project to cre­ate a micro-econ­o­my for Thong Nong inhab­i­tants and to assist them in the resti­tu­tion of their habi­tat pat­ri­mo­ny. Locat­ed north­west­ern of Cao Bang province, bor­der­ing Chi­na, Thong Nong range is a unique suc­ces­sion of lime­stone peaks and remote val­leys scat­tered in a wild man­ner. Made of majes­tic chalky peaks, the area hous­es Hmông, Tay, Nung and Dao. These eth­nic groups are liv­ing in autarky right in the heart of glis­ten­ing valleys.

STUNG SEN RIV­ER PROJECT

Secret Indochi­na estab­lished an edu­ca­tion­al pro­gram for dis­ad­van­taged chil­dren in Bop­ing vil­lage, Kam­pong Thom province. $180 per year, are allowed for twen­ty stu­dents with neces­si­ties such as a uni­form, books, and pen­cils, as well as pay­ing the fee for school.

KATU PROJECT

Its pur­pose is to cre­ate a sus­tain­able econ­o­my for Ban Paleng, an Upper Xekong Katu ham­let, to pro­mote the con­ser­va­tion and pro­mo­tion of frag­ile katouic cul­tur­al her­itage and offer med­ical assis­tant for the youth. Locat­ed in South­ern Laos, Upper Xekong is Indochi­na last remain­ing vir­gin zone, deep inside Anna­mitic cordillera, in a hilly land­scape com­posed of small val­leys and impetu­ous tor­rents, mak­ing a nat­ur­al bar­ri­er to mod­ern word influ­ences; an ulti­mate bor­der, Pro­to-Indochi­nese eth­nic minori­ties last sanctuary.

COM­MU­NI­TIES PROJECT

The aim is to devel­op immer­sion pro­grams in part­ner­ship with local com­mu­ni­ties, includ­ing eth­nic minori­ties, across Viet­nam, Laos and Cam­bo­dia. Secret Indochi­na is fund­ing sev­er­al hous­es, fam­i­lies and vil­lages to cre­ate a sus­tain­able micro-econ­o­my to revi­tal­ize the rur­al econ­o­my in some remote and unspoiled areas. The project helps locals to reach a stan­dard that allows them to wel­come trav­ellers. Since 2011, this project has worked with a dozen of com­mu­ni­ties, cre­at­ing a com­mu­ni­ty net­work across Indochina.
