Supporting Local Communities
At Lao Elephant Village, we believe that true conservation begins with people. Our project is designed to empower local villagers by creating fair, sustainable opportunities through eco-tourism.

Homestay Program
Tourists who visit Lao Elephant Village stay in family-run homestays, where they experience authentic Lao hospitality and village life.By welcoming guests into their homes, local families earn additional income, helping them improve their livelihoods while proudly sharing their culture and traditions. This direct connection between visitors and hosts builds understanding, friendship, and respect between cultures.

Training and Local Skills Development
We also provide training programs for villagers, giving them new opportunities to work in sustainable tourism. Locals are trained to become nature guides, leading visitors to observe wild elephants and other wildlife safely and responsibly.in addition, we teach villagers how to share their traditional skills, such as weaving, blacksmithing, knife-making, and other local crafts, allowing them to earn income while keeping these ancient traditions alive.

Through these activities, Lao Elephant Village helps create jobs, reduce poverty, and inspire pride in local culture — all while protecting nature and elephants. Together, we are building a stronger, more sustainable future for both people and wildlife in Laos.
