Responsible Tourism Session

Written By Skuals

Travel brings valuable economic opportunities to host communities, but it also leaves an impact. Our responsibility is to ensure that our presence actively uplifts local lives while minimising our footprint on the environment and culture.

Because tour guides are at the heart of every guest experience, Skual Tours provides continuous training and capacity-building for our team. We guide them in adopting everyday routines grounded in the Responsible Tourism framework and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring that every journey is ethical, respectful, and mutually beneficial.

Skual Tours was born from a simple belief: meaningful travel is not measured by how many places you visit, but by how deeply you connect with them.

Our founder, Simony Pech, began his journey in tourism in 2014 as a guide trainee. Over the years, he worked across different roles, from tour guiding to outdoor education, walking alongside travelers, communities, and fellow guides. Through these experiences, one question kept returning: What makes a journey truly meaningful?

The answer was never just landscapes, temples, or itineraries. While Cambodia is rich in history, architecture, and natural beauty, these elements alone do not define the experience. What leaves a lasting impression is human connection, the warmth of a greeting, the rhythm of daily life, shared meals, quiet conversations, and stories shaped by resilience.

When people think about travel, a few common questions are often asked: How many places have you been? Where is the best spot for photos? What is the best food to try?
