Improving life for people
Travel enriches lives. Whether a fleeting moment at a local market stall or being welcomed into someone’s home, travel opens doors for visitors and hosts alike. According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, the travel industry supports 1 in 10 jobs across the world, and in many of our destinations, tourism is an economic lifeline.

The People pillar of our People, Places & Planet plan seeks to improve lives of the people in the communities we visit. This means supporting local businesses, creating employment opportunities, promoting regenerative practices and ensuring that your money has a direct positive impact for locals. ....less

And we have adventure holidays designed specifically for families, mixed-activity holidays and seasonal getaways, perfect for those interested in winter sports. There are unforgettable experiences in top destinations the world over. From your own African odyssey, to a journey of discovery in Central America and pioneering expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic, with Exodus these are just some of the memories waiting to be made. ....less

At Exodus, we love adventure travel and always have. There’s something about the feeling of visiting a new country, culture or environment – whether that’s a mountain range, desert or jungle – that just can’t be beaten. We first took a group of travellers to the Himalaya 45 years ago, and have since expanded to offer more than 500 itineraries across more than 90 countries. So, if you’re looking for adventure holidays, or are in need of some travel inspiration for your next activity holidays, you’ve come to the right place. ....less

Our Nature First Plan- What does putting nature first mean?
As a business, we want to ensure that everything we do to create and run our trips not only reduces any negative impacts on natural ecosystems, but proactively seeks to restore nature. Travel still leaves a footprint – through carbon emissions, waste, pollution, and ecosystem exploitation. We seek to remove and reduce these negative impacts and outweigh them with our efforts to restore nature wherever possible. Putting nature first is the philosophy by which we operate our business, rather than a static goal or target. ....less

After almost 50-years of delivering world-class adventures, trips and tours, we know better than most how awe-inspiring, horizon-expanding, and life-enriching travel can be. And at Exodus Travels we firmly believe travel should improve life for the people and places we visit too.

So our People, Places & Planet plan lays out the ways in which we persistently and passionately seek to improve life through travel — for the places we visit, people we meet, and the planet we explore, including our commitment to ensure our adventures are Nature Net Positive – giving back far more to this planet and its ecosystems than they take.
