EXO Travel and EXO Foundation were “Good Tourism” Partners from May 2023 to December 2025. This is the archive page for their “GT” Partner messages.
EXO Travel’s purpose is to expand horizons & create lasting positive impacts through travel. It comes from our desire to keep our journey positive and inspiring. To continue growing as a company and as people. To continue to inspire our guests to keep exploring, discovering and traveling while also taking care of our planet and to give back as much as we can.
We have always believed in travel as a force for good and, since day one, sustainability has been at the centre of everything we do. And, as a certified B Corporation, we have a clear roadmap for that journey as we strive to become an even more positive influence on our destinations, the environment and all of our stakeholders.
EXO Foundation aims to make destinations better places for people to live in and for travellers to visit. We are a non-profit organisation based in Southeast Asia supporting local grassroots organizations in nine countries: Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore.
Our vision is to be a driving force in actively fostering sustainable development and improving positive societal and environmental changes through the promotion of responsible tourism. Our ambition is to pave the way for mainstreaming good practices within the travel industry in Asia. We aim to maximise the potential for tourism to become a tool for poverty alleviation and sustainable development.

The travel & tourism industry can be expected to honour the human right to water, particularly in communities and destinations in which it operates.
Industry stakeholders need not see this as a burden, but rather as a compelling opportunity to meaningfully engage with local people on securing traditional water supplies, all the while developing more sustainable water and waste management systems of their own.
Nicolaus Sulistyo sheds light on IDEP Foundation’s Bali Water Protection (BWP) initiative; an EXO Foundation Sustainability Award winner.
