The pre-1991 years saw Apsara Tours offering homestays and guide services, setting the stage for what would become its hallmark – a commitment to intimate, local experiences. This period allowed the company to develop profound connections with guests and the communities it engaged with.

2005: Apsara Foundation – Empowering Communities

In 2005, Apsara Foundation was founded with a vision to share the benefits of tourism with the surrounding communities of tourist spots. Through various impactful projects, the foundation aimed to contribute to the well-being and development of these communities. Apsara Tours took a significant step in supporting these initiatives by pledging to donate 1 dollar for every passenger they receive. This ongoing commitment forms an integral part of Apsara Tours’ Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), contributing to the sustainability and positive impact of the communities they engage with.

1991: Apsara Tours Takes Flight

In 1991, Apsara Tours officially began its journey as a legal entity, solidifying its dedication to providing authentic and immersive experiences to curious travelers. This marked the formal beginning of a venture already deeply rooted in a passion for introducing the world to the wonders of Cambodia.

1993: Apsara Transport Company – Enhancing Journeys

In 1993, recognizing the need for reliable transportation services in a burgeoning Cambodia, Apsara Tours established Apsara Transport Company. This complemented its tour services seamlessly, ensuring guests could navigate the country with ease and reliability.
