The Oodles of Noodles Project

We believe that we should take care of the communities we visit, which is why we decided to set up the Travelsphere Cares initiative. Through this scheme, we donate some of the profits from selected tours to help those in need – it’s a great way to give something back, and by booking you’re helping too.

In Vietnam, we are backing a social enterprise called STREETS International, which helps at risk youngsters. Recognising the important role that tourism can play in developing economies, they use donations to provide education,  safe housing, medical insurance and educational resources to these young people. Their Oodles of Noodles project teaches the youths all there is to know about working in and running a restaurant. It also helps them to hone their English and presentation skills, and eventually they graduate with an International Culinary Arts Certificate. Many have gone on to gain employment in 5-star hotels in Da Nang and neighbouring cities. During our Invitation to Vietnam & Temples of Angkor and A Journey Through South East Asia tours, we offer a fantastic new excursion, giving you the chance to join a noodle-making class with some of the trainees, and you’ll get to try some amazing noodles too.
