Since 2013, EXO has been working diligently on its carbon emissions measurement and enlisted specialist organisations to\u00a0implement a Climate Action Plan that sets us on the path to carbon neutrality. Our ultimate goal is to reduce the emissions generated on EXO\u2019s trips, by our suppliers and within our own offices. The road to carbon neutrality is a long one but we believe it is possible, especially if we have the cooperation of our partners and travelers.

Purchasing handicrafts, such as weavings or ceramics, contributes to preserving cultural traditions and helps ensure that being an artisan is a financially viable career choice for younger generations. Opting to eat local food and dine at locally-owned restaurants supports area farmers, chefs and small businesses- and, as a bonus, you will get to enjoy a culinary experience you could not have back home! Also, worth noting is that buying locally reduces carbon emissions that are caused by importing goods. It\u2019s a win for you, a win for the local community and a win for the environment! If you have any questions about where to shop while on holiday, EXO guides can help direct you in the right direction.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-17d0ad3\" data-id=\"17d0ad3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e642ad5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e642ad5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exotravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Untitled-design-38.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-23019\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exotravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Untitled-design-38.png 250w, https:\/\/www.exotravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Untitled-design-38-150x300.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5a7fcc e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d5a7fcc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49af5ce elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"49af5ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/www.exofoundation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">EXPLORE MORE<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EXO shares creative ways to make trips more responsible without sacrificing comfort<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27623,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38,1400],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-luxury-en","category-planet"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
