| "The
Kingdom of Lan Xang or Land of A Million Elephants"
Laos is officially the Lao People's
Democratic Republic today and elephants are not so
numerous anymore but Laos is still the land to meet
people whose kindness and hospitality is renowned
Bordered with its neighbours China, Thailand, Cambodia,
Vietnam and Myanmar, the RDP Lao occupy a regional
geo strategic situation.
Laos has kept exceptionally rich
and diversified vegetation and also hosts a number
of animal species to be discovered or rediscovered. The
country has two World Heritage sites — Luang
Prabang and Wat
Phou. The Plain of Jars remains a mystery: nobody
knows the origin or purpose of these amazing stone
jars.
To help people to discover and explore
Laos, the « Carterie du laos », together
with Lao National Tourism Administration, decided
to edit a guide, freely distributed all over the country
and presented to the most highlighted tourism conventions
(Berlin, Paris, Singapore etc.)
The “GUIDE DU LAOS” became
a success story and the team decided to launch a website:
Destination-laos.com was born.
We sincerely hope that the following pages will contribute
to help you to discover this country with its authentic
charms and traditions, escape from mass tourism.
You have decided to come to Laos
- we look forward to seeing you! (or to read your
remarks and suggestions).
