The Team
|
Sourya THEPHANOURAK
Director |
As President and founder of the company, Souriya brings his extensive skills and business experience to the proceedings with 34 years industry experience at SITA from 1975 to 2009, including several years as Company Director. Also highly educated, and with a comprehensive knowledge of the growing Laos inbound tourism industry, Souriya spotted a gap in the market for a local tour operator that provides a genuine, quality, and highly personalised service. Souriya decided to put his considerable expertise in services and company management to good use and thus Namxan River Tours was born. Always astute, Souriya recognized the need to operate responsibly at all times with predominantly Laotion staff to ensure long term sustainability for the whole country, as well as having the foresight to employ a foreign expert on an advisory basis to help bridge the sometimes complex cultural divide, so that our guests are properly taken care of to ensure the best experience possible.
