Description
With a 5.0 TripAdvisor rating, Phare, the Cambodian Circus based in Siem Reap, must be doing something right.  We speak to Craig Dodge, their Senior Director of Sales and Marketing, about the journey this social enterprise has taken from humble beginnings in Battambang to shows in New York City.

Lastly, we finish off with why Craig is such an advocate for Cambodian attractions and tour operators to get online.
