MEKONG HORIZON Co.,
Ltd. is a private owned company having
its operations base in Cai Be (Mekong
delta - Vietnam) and operating under
international tour-operator license.
Since March 2003, the
company has been focusing its activities
in the development of touristic
infrastructures in the Mekong delta,
region which is part of the GMS (Greater
Mekong Sub-region: Cambodia, Laos and
Vietnam), the fastest growing tourism
destination in the world.
Every year, millions of tourists are
visiting the GMS with a wide variety of
motivations and preferred styles of
travel. Among these, there are travelers
who are interested in contributing to
local economies in socially responsible
ways, so that their money benefit local
people. These types of tourists are
increasingly concerned about the effects
tourism have on the environment and
local way of life. The widening consumer
niche market they represent is a
critical demand factor that encourages
investment in more sustainable forms of
travel and development.
In this respect,
MEKONG HORIZON has developed a range of
products, activities and projects that:
-
Minimizes
negative economic, environmental and
social impacts.
-
Generates
economic benefits for local people,
enhances the community and improves
working conditions.
-
Involves local
people in the decision-making
process.
-
Contributes to
the conservation of the environment
and cultural heritage.
-
Provides an
enjoyable tourism experience and
opportunity for tourists to meet
locals.
-
Provides tourists
with a greater understanding of
local cultural, social and
environmental issues.
-
Provides access
for physically challenged tourists.
-
Promotes respect
between tourists and hosts, while
building locals’ confidence.

The company operates
today an own-built flotilla of 12 boats with
designs and styles reflecting true authentic
ancient "sampans" (“Cai Be Princess”, “Song
Xanh”) using materials such as rattan,
bamboo and exotic wood.
Since April 2005, MEKONG HORIZON also
operates a restaurant named "Le Longanier",
a beautiful two storeys villa with typical
Indochinese architecture located on the Phu
An river banks, in a lush tropical garden
surrounded by fruit orchard plantations,
trees and exotic flowers.
In 2010, MEKONG HORIZON has become a leading
services supplier for all Vietnam based
tour-operators and corporate companies,
employing a total number of 80 employees,
all native from rural areas adjacent to Cai
Be, and locally trained by the company.
