“What stood out for me,” informs Naome Pangilinan, Group Marketing Executive Educational Travel, “was the space to reflect, not just on our roles, but on the responsibility we carry — as people, as leaders, and as a business shaping meaningful change.”
But the connection ran far deeper than shared schedules and sessions. In Trei Nhoar, Cambodia, we walked side by side with a young community on its path toward self-sufficiency — a journey shaped by determination, resourcefulness, and learning. Together, we installed solar lights, planted trees, and learned to cook traditional dishes using local ingredients. Walking through the village, we saw the tangible ways responsible tourism has supported new opportunities and renewed pride.
