Travelling for Good | EXO Travel Monthly Newsletter

Dear Publisher,

With global numbers of travellers to Asia constantly on the rise, providing guests with authentic, immersive and memorable travel experiences whilst keeping the communities and environments within them happy and healthy has become an increasingly important challenge.

Rising to the challenge, EXO Travel integrates sustainability practices in all our products. Whether it's eco-friendly transport like an e-biking adventures in Chiang Mai, visits to wildlife sanctuaries and conservation centres to learn about wildlife protection, or participating in activities that give back to local communities -we are constantly on the lookout for experential and fun travel experiences that can make for exceptionally meaningful and memorable ones too.

This month we're highlighting just a few of the many ways we empower your clients to travel for good. For more information about the Responsible Travel companent of EXO, click below.

RESPONSIBLE TOURS

VIETNAM

1. Activities with a heart

Help improve the lives of the people in Central Vietnam by visiting the charming, historic towns of Hue and Hoi An on eco-friendly transportation. Dine at a vocational-training centre and work with local charities. This is a tour that can help guests forge a deeper connection to the Vietnamese people through insightful experiences.

LAOS

2. Sustainable Laos

Support sustainable tourism initiatives and interact with the locals to understand Lao culture. From Vientiane to Vang Vieng to Luang Prabang, guests will go on cultural tours that are blended with engaging activities designed to preserve Laos' cultural heritage while teaching about it, too.

CAMBODIA

3. Supporting the arts

Phare, a circus-like show, combines modern and traditional Khmer theatre. Guests will be enchanted by a different side of Cambodian culture while learning about daily life and customs through the graceful movements of the performers -all while support the works of this wonderful community.

A restorative journey for both guests and communities. Learning from the locals, guests get to practice meditation on ancient temple ground do yoga with scenic mountain views and encounter a sanctuary for elephants in Kalaw- this wellness-themed trip is truly revitalising.

MALAYSIA

5. Safe haven for wildlife

Get up close and personal on multiple visits to safe havens for Borneo's rich wildlife. Be it orangutans, sunbears, saltwater crocodiles, Borneo's indigenous proboscis monkeys, Asian elephants or birldlife - there is a great variety of wildlife protected and safe from any harm.

CHINA

6. Panda sanctuary

Discover the magic of Sichuan Province with visits to protected religious sites and panda sanctuaries and a meaningful trek up a sacred mountain. Learn all about the area's 4000-year old history, taste the fiery cuisine and embrace the rich culture of Sichuan.

EXO FOUNDATION NEWS

The stewardship of both our destinations and the planet is something that we at EXO Travel take very seriously. To help us maximise our positive impact on destinations while minimising negative ones, we've created EXO Foundation as a semi-autonomous sustainability unit of the company which oversees and informs all that we do to ensure that we stay on target and are constantly improving our ways.

This year we'll be taking a massive step in reducing our carbon footprint through partnership with NEXUS for Development. In keeping with this partnership, we are comitting to offset the carbon emissions of every domestic and regional flight our travellers take in Travelife certified destinations (Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam) by supporting their three-pronged approach for carbon offset. 

With this strategy, we'll see the already substantial 332 tonnes of carbon we've offset since 2015 increased nearly tenfold. To learn more about this amazing organisation, be sure to check them out at the link below.
