Setting up a luxury meeting tent with electricity, air-conditioning, and other amenities in a UNESCO World Heritage site involved more than just creativity and good planning, it was also a lesson in Cambodian politics.
The Brief
The brief was to create a jungle experience a la Tomb Raider, but in lush surroundings. The idea was to bring a little bit of the luxury of African safaris to Cambodian temple safaris for a 4-day gathering of Moet Hennessy Asia Pacific's 20 most senior executives.
Highlights
Accommodation: 2 nights at Amansara with one nite luxury camping at a rural village site
Transportation: Amansara's vintage Mercerdes Benz stretch limo for airport transfers, 4x4s and Amansara's stylishly-appointed remoks (pedicabs)
Meeting Facilities: A custom-made, dark green (to match the jungle theme), waterproof meeting tent with electricity generators, portable air-conditioners, projectors, etc was erected at a remote temple site within the Angkor Wat area
Meals: a catered al fresco lunch by the temple, a gala dinner at Preah Khan temple with Apsara performance attended by the Cambodian Minister of Tourism, a post-sunrise, Krug Champagne breakfast along the banks behind Angkor Wat temple
Events: a stunning shadow puppet show at the campsite, helicopter ride above Angkor Wat area
Khmer Outfit: Each participant received a tailor-made Khmer costume to wear on the night of the gala dinner
Special Arrangements: Meeting with the Minister of Tourism and Apsara authority to secure permission to set-up meeting sites and campsite within the temple complex area for exclusive use and arrange security (i.e. no tourists, no locals). |
