EXO’s philanthropic experiences meld meaningful contributions with cultural immersion, enriching every journey.
These experiences include donations per traveller to programmes, groups or charities included in the tour that use services from non-profit organisations such as vocational training restaurants.
By utilising services from EXO’s vetted non-profit organisations, these experiences offer a unique way to engage with local cultures while fostering social development and providing employment opportunities to underserved populations.
This approach not only enhances travellers’ connection to a destination but also promotes sustainable development and empowers communities, making each of these experiences a force for positive change.
Philanthropy is just one of ten categories used in Travel for Good, EXO’s comprehensive rating system that gauges the sustainability of our travel experiences. Experiences that meet a threshold of science-based criteria are tagged with Travel for Good icons on our website and within our digital tools, making it easier for our partners to identify and book responsible experiences that generate positive impacts.

About Travel for Good
Travel for Good is EXO’s innovative, comprehensive rating system that gauges the sustainability of our travel experiences.
Each of our experiences, tours and hotels goes through a ratings process inspired by the three pillars of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council criteria. Following the evaluation, products are then tagged with Travel for Good icons on our website and within our digital tools.
Through this analysis, we’ve identified an array of sustainable travel experiences and tours. Our overall goal is to guide you, our partners, towards responsible choices that generate positive impacts in our destinations both for locals and for our planet while ensuring your guests have feel-good trips of a lifetime.
