A growing collection of luxury tented camps offering immersive stays in remote and culturally rich landscapes across Asia.
YAANA Ventures supports the development of Visama Tented Camps, a portfolio of high-end, nature-based retreats designed to bring guests closer to Asia’s most remarkable landscapes and communities. Currently under development in Thailand and Cambodia, with further projects planned across Asia, Visama includes two categories: Visama Reserve (flagship luxury) and Visama Explorer (smaller, more intimate camps). Each site is designed with light environmental footprints and deep community engagement.

YAANA Ventures is a founding partner of Cardamom Tented Camp, an award-winning conservation lodge located on a private concession inside Botum Sakor National Park, Cambodia’s largest protected area. Developed in partnership with Minor Hotels and Wildlife Alliance, the camp serves as a model for sustainable tourism and conservation finance. Guest stays directly fund forest ranger patrols that help protect over 180,000 hectares of pristine lowland forest. Cardamom Tented Camp is a member of The Long Run and is actively pursuing Global Ecosphere Retreat (GER) status, the highest certification in nature-based sustainability.
A specialist developer and operator of nature-integrated tented camps and eco-lodges across Asia.

A lightweight, user-friendly property management system designed for boutique lodges, eco-camps, and tented resorts.
HMP Master is a proprietary property management system (PMS) developed under YAANA Ventures to meet the operational needs of small and remote hospitality businesses. Built by development teams in Silicon Valley and Vietnam, and shaped by practical day-to-day input from the operations teams of YAANA’s hospitality ventures, the system is intuitive, flexible, and ideal for off-grid environments. It enables seamless reservations, payments, and real-time reporting, freeing up managers and staff to focus on guest experience rather than back-office paperwork.

Khiri Travel Group
A proprietary suite of travel tech systems powering the operational backbone of Khiri Travel — from quotes to dashboards to guest experience.
Khiri GO is the integrated technology platform developed in-house by Khiri Travel, with strategic support from YAANA Ventures. Built to streamline and elevate every aspect of B2B destination management, the suite includes three distinct yet fully interconnected systems. Together, they form a powerful digital backbone that supports Khiri’s multi-country operations across Southeast Asia.
K360 serves as the operational heart of the business powering itinerary creation, pricing, and internal workflow management. KMP provides real-time analytical insight through advanced dashboards that track financial performance and operational KPIs across all destinations. Completing the ecosystem is Khiri Go, a guest-facing mobile app, which delivers daily itineraries, travel documents, and tickets directly to the traveler’s phone — all in a white-label format customizable for Khiri’s B2B partners.
These three proprietary tools are developed as one cohesive platform, based on shared data and day-to-day feedback from the Khiri operations teams, enhancing guest experience, reducing inefficiencies, and scaling service without compromising on personalization or quality.
A multi-country, B2B destination management company offering immersive, responsible travel across Southeast Asia and beyond.
Founded in 1993, long before the formation of YAANA Ventures, Khiri Travel is a trusted regional leader in tailor-made, responsible travel experiences. Operating in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka, Khiri works exclusively B2B and is known for championing visitor dispersion, local immersion, and sustainability. The company is currently on track to achieve GSTC certification in 2025, reinforcing its commitment to global standards in sustainable travel.
A specialist in educational travel, cultural exchange, and service learning across Southeast Asia.
Khiri Campus is the educational arm of Khiri Travel, offering programs for schools, universities, and academic institutions across Southeast Asia. With a focus on learning, cultural exchange, and responsible engagement, Khiri Campus designs student journeys that build awareness, foster cross-cultural dialogue, and support real-world development outcomes. YAANA Ventures supports the brand’s growth as part of its commitment to education and youth empowerment through travel.
A non-profit foundation supporting community uplift, environmental protection, and emergency response across Southeast Asia.
Khiri Reach is the charitable foundation of Khiri Travel, created to implement community development, conservation, and emergency response projects in the regions where Khiri operates. Its work is funded primarily through donations from Khiri Travel’s international tour operator partners, along with matched fundraising contributions and support from YAANA’s charitable initiatives. Khiri Reach has been actively involved in post-disaster relief — including flood response in Laos and aid following the recent earthquake in Myanmar — and continues to deliver impact through long-term programs in education, healthcare, and the environment.
