Today, people travel with a conscience. The environment is an important element to travel, after all, if there is no environment, there is no destination. And the people in our countries are just as vital an element to your travel as anything else. They provide the culture, heritage, color and atmosphere to your holidays. So, in order to conserve and protect the lands and peoples of our destination, we have set up the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exofoundation.org\/\">Exo Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So, what is the Exo Foundation? It is a supplementary charity branch of EXO Travel aimed at supporting charitable initiatives in Southeast Asia in the environmental, cultural and humanitarian fields. We always been involved with charitable activities since our founding in 1993. We believe that is what travel is all about. \u00a0Sure, travel is about memorable times, relaxation and enjoyment but there is no greater reward and personal satisfaction than knowing that you have done something to help the people and environment of your dream travel destination. Combine that with our love for Southeast Asia and there you have it, the birth of the Exo Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>So, how do we do this? We work side-by-side with local organizations. By doing so, you will have the opportunity to learn about authentic cultures, heritages and lifestyles from the very people of these societies themselves. And by traveling with local run organizations, you ensure that your contributions go to the improvement of their welfare while also supporting our goal of environmental and cultural preservation.<\/p>\n<p>Small little things like turning off engines while the vehicle is idle, using electric bikes instead of scooters and disposing of recyclable materials and waste properly all makes a world of difference. We educate people about it and also promote it with you as well.<\/p>\n<p>Make the world a better place! Just by travelling with Exotissimo, you are guaranteed that responsible initiatives are taken to protect the people and environment of the destination you are headed to. You can also contribute more to this initiative. How? By placing a kind donation to the Foundation. Each and every contribution aids in the progress of our charitable projects.
