Shinta Mani launches innovative Visiting Friends Package

In its continuing efforts to provide a unique and unforgettable experience to visitors of Siem Reap, Cambodia, the Shinta Mani Hotel and Institute of Hospitality have launched a 'Visiting Friends' package.

Visiting Friends is about meeting, learning and sharing with the people of Cambodia. A guide takes the guest from the hotel to tour a village outside of Siem Reap to see how local Cambodians live off the land. The guest can then later visit with a Cambodian family in their home. Over refreshments, the guest has the opportunity to learn about life in Cambodia. At the end of the visit, the guest presents the family with a 4 kilogram bag of rice; a traditional Khmer gift of appreciation.

Shinta Mani has partnered with Tabitha Cambodia, a local NGO, to offer Visiting Friends as a way to promote awareness and foster supportive connections within the local Cambodian community. The package includes two nights accommodation at Shinta Mani with breakfast, transportation with a hotel guide to and from the village, refreshments and the gift of rice. Visiting Friends is effective from June 1st until August 31st and is priced at US$196 plus tax based on single or double occupancy.

Shinta Mani, derived from Sanskrit, means “the gem that provides for all”; an appropriate name for this 18-room boutique hotel which has integrated community-based activities into its operations and gives guests an opportunity to connect on a personal level with the people of Cambodia.
