Sam Veasna Centre (SVC) bird watching sites are in remote locations where special arrangements have to be made and paid for in advance of our trips with the local communities to cater for our clients regardless of cancellation.
SVC trip demand is also very seasonable on occasions utilizing all of our guides from end of December through to end of March, cancellation of trips during this period can lead to a significant loss of income for SVC limiting our support for conservation of the sites we visit.
