A chat with Camboticket Co-Founder about his inspiration
In conversing with locals, Mr. Rahul Anand found out that it was difficult to book bus tickets through agents, especially during holidays like Water Festival or Khmer New Year. He was also aware that Cambodia had a vast young population of 16 Million with an average of 19 years old people. Combined with his research on similar ventures in Cambodia, Rahul was motivated to make sure Camboticket came to life. Rahul has raised awareness of the company through Facebook, travel blogs as well as word-of-mouth.
