Sampan Travel
MYANMAR
Sampan Travel curates bespoke journeys through Myanmar, Bangladesh and Northeast India, rooted in cultural sensitivity, community collaboration and environmental care. Founded in 2013 and based in Yangon, the company holds Travelife certification and was recognised with the Myanmar Responsible Tourism Award for Best Tour Operator. Every aspect of their operation is guided by their Positive Impact Policy, which informs every stage of trip planning and delivery, from ensuring fair pay and safe working conditions for local guides, to prioritising low-impact transport and reducing single-use plastics. Going beyond standard tourism practices, Sampan partners with community-run initiatives and social enterprises, including training programmes for youth and locally owned accommodation, to ensure tourism contributes meaningfully to local economies.
