| | | 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.
