Namxan Tours
We are a small in-country Laos national tour operator specialising in bespoke tailor-made and small group adventure tours. As well as visiting the “classic” destinations we stray off-the-beaten track to less frequented regions to discover some equally fantastic places. In particular we are promoting the seldom visited central region which contains some of the best and truly unique wonders of Laos. In doing so we wholeheartedly accept an obligation to do so in a way that benefits the local communities. We are a relatively new company formed by a shared vision and combined knowledge & experience, therefore our clients receive unrivalled service and the best experiences that Laos has to offer.

How the minimum criteria of the responsible travel standard was met...
Economic responsibility
All profits stay within the country and we encourage our clients to book directly through us to continue this trend
All our staff are Laos nationals with just one exception who works on an advisory basis
For everyone’s mutual benefit we use, and encourage our clients to use, locally owned restaurants and hotels
Environmental responsibility
Most of our tours allow a maximum of 10 persons which significantly minimizes our impact
We take simple but crucial measures to reduce our impact, including reducing use of plastic bottles, paper & ensuring we recycle
We take great care to remove all our waste from remote areas, much of which can be donated to a village to be recycled
Social responsibility
Prior to the start of a tour our clients are advised on the cultural aspects of the country, ensuring consideration towards local customs
We support the work of many charitable enterprises and NGO’s in Laos as much as possible
By liaising with the local people, we try to bring help & equipment that is needed most within their community
