At EXO, we aim to be responsible in all that we do and strive to create experiences and itineraries that generate positive impacts both for the local communities and for our planet.
Travel for Good was developed so that we can evaluate the sustainability practices of each of our travel experiences and tours and measure their impact on our destinations, for both locals and our planet.
This systematic rating scheme was designed and implemented by our Sustainability Coordinators over the last decade, taking inspiration from the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
For each experience we offer, we rate it according to the following 10 Travel For Good criteria. By providing these indicators, we are able to guide our travellers into making more responsible choices that have a positive impact in the countries they’re visiting.
Low Carbon Experiences with walking, trekking, hiking, cycling or public transport.
Nature & Wildlife Protection: Includes entrance fees where funds are used to protect areas such as national parks or for observation-only animal encounters arranged by accredited organisations & NGOs.
Organic Lifestyle Experiences that include only vegetarian/vegan meals, farm-to-table activities, organic farming, workshops that create natural products and well-being experiences
Heritage Protection: Experiences that help protect cultural heritage sites, including UNESCO sites or less visited sites, far away from mass tourism
Arts, Food & Creativity : Experiences including cultural shows and performances, visits to galleries & museums, handicrafts workshops and food experiences that showcase the cultural heritage of the destination.
Cultural Diversity: Experiences promoting ethnic groups, minorities, shared know-how, and stories.
Off The Beaten Track: Experiences promoting remote areas, and less mainstream destinations.
Philanthropy: Experiences that include donations per travellers to programs, organisations or charities included in the tour or that use services from non-profit organisations such as vocational training restaurants.
Homestays: Experiences that include activities or nights in homestays
Community-based tourism: Experiences that are run by proper CBT organisations, with community funds that help to spread out the revenue from tourism to a whole community, so people from the community can benefit from tourism.
