We are thrilled and deeply honored to share a milestone moment in our journey: CWE TRAVEL has been awarded 1st Prize Winner – Early Venture at the TUI Futureshapers Cambodia Demo Day! 🇰🇭
This incredible recognition is a celebration of our hard-working team, our amazing community partners, and every traveler who has chosen to experience the real Cambodia with us.
Recognizing Sustainable & Purpose-Driven Travel
The TUI Futureshapers Cambodia Programme—organized by the TUI Care Foundation in partnership with Target 8.9, GIZ, and local industry leaders—was created to empower innovative tourism enterprises that drive positive social, economic, and environmental impact across Cambodia.
Out of an inspiring group of tourism entrepreneurs nationwide, CWE TRAVEL took the top spot in the Early Venture category!
“This achievement reflects the dedication of our amazing team, who work every day to create authentic, memorable cultural and responsible experiences while supporting local communities across Cambodia.”
For us, tourism has never been just about sightseeing—it’s about building meaningful bridges. From guiding peaceful countryside cycling trips and immersive lotus harvesting to running mindfulness-centered cultural journeys, our purpose is to share Cambodia’s intangible heritage while creating sustainable livelihoods for local families.
