Destination Mekong is the champion of the many micro-, small-. and medium-sized businesses in the tourism sector in the Mekong Region, consisting of Cambodia, PR China, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, and Viet Nam.

We are a non-profit destination management and marketing organisation (DMO) headquartered in Singapore and registered in Cambodia, supported by the Ministry of Tourism of Cambodia. 

We were founded in 2017 by Dr Jens Thraenhart, at that time the Executive Director of MTCO, the secretariat of the Tourism Ministries of the six Mekong Countries.  With support from our founding partner, UNWTO Affiliate Member Chameleon Strategies, a number of award-winning initiatives were launched for the benefit of and in collaboration with the private sector.

In 2022, we registered as a Pte. Ltd. company in Singapore to start our membership program with the goal of creating more engagement with businesses and understanding their daily struggles better and being able to create value for all in an inclusive and collaborative framework.
