Adventure World launched a new collection of travel itineraries to Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, focusing on immersive culinary experiences. It’s an authentic taste of Indochina along with the must-see natural wonders and heritage sites in each destination.

Adventure World’s Authentic Custom Asia itineraries allow travellers to experience the communities, culture and conservation via connections made through food.

Managing Director Neil Rodgers said the new Adventure World itineraries not only introduce the cuisines of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos to visitors but also give back to local communities.

“Community-based tourism is very popular in these countries and rates high in sustainability. Studies have shown this type of tourism improves income, equality for communities and promotes environmental and cultural preservation,” he said.

The Authentic Vietnam trip includes KOTO Van Mieu in Hanoi, which provides training and jobs for disadvantaged young people. Travellers will also enjoy home-cooked meals with a family in Hue plus a farm-to-table experience in Tra Que herb village.

The Authentic Cambodia itinerary visits Jaan Bai restaurant, established by Australian chef David Thompson and backed by the Cambodia Children’s Trust with youth programs, while the Authentic Luang Prabang trip includes a Baci ceremony.

Additionally, for every Asia booking, Adventure World will donate $300 to Animals Asia to help end bear bile farming in Vietnam and fund conservation.
