We ensure our overseas staff and partners are paid fairly and our long term commitment to them helps build the passion and in-depth knowledge needed to give you the travel experience you want. We do not use local payments.

We have many successful projects around the world that help house the homeless, educate the poor, protect the environment and wildlife and help reduce or offset carbon emissions, all designed to ensure that Tourism is a force for good!

Award Winning Operator & Group Leaders – Don’t just take our word for it, Exodus have won multiple awards in recent years - for our holidays, our Responsible Tourism policies and for our outstanding local staff and tour leaders.
Exodus, the environment and responsible tourism
As tourism becomes a truly global industry, we recognise our obligation to operate our tours in a responsible and sustainable fashion. We view this not only as an environmental issue but an economic and social one as well. Above all we are committed to the well-being of the communities that are our hosts and the natural environment that we are there to experience. We also believe that by following these policies we can provide a more rewarding and interesting experience to you our clients.
The following are the key points in our philosophy:
Small groups have less impact on local communities and environments.
Where possible we believe in putting money directly into the communities we visit by using locally owned and run accommodation and eating locally produced food.
We are careful to ensure that local staff and operators receive a fair rate for their services.
We encourage our own staff to take an active interest in responsible and sustainable tourism and train them accordingly so that they can put our policies into practice.
We endeavour to ensure that our practices help in the environmental conservation of the areas we visit.
We provide our clients with advice and guidelines on how to respect the social, cultural and religious beliefs of local communities.
At Exodus we have always believed in three simple guiding principles for the way in which we want to travel.
• We realise that every destination is someone else’s home
• We should leave places as we would like to find them
• We should ensure that communities benefit from our visit
Your Financial Security
Exodus is a fully licensed and bonded tour operator. We hold an Air Travel Organisers Licence (ATOL) no. 2582 issued by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), and we are bonded with the CAA. Our ATOL bond covers all holidays which include air travel. In the event of our financial failure before departure, all monies paid, except insurance premiums, will be refunded. If failure occurs while you are on your trip, the bond administrators will first of all attempt to apply the funds to complete your trip, or if this is not possible, they will ensure that you are repatriated to the UK. Should the bond be insufficient, back-up funds are available through the CAA. Our membership of this organisation means that our accounts are subject to regular and stringent independent scrutiny, which, although it cannot prevent failure, certainly makes it less likely. You can book with Exodus in complete confidence that all monies paid to us for trips are fully protected.
Our membership of this organisation means that you can book with Exodus Travels Ltd in complete confidence that all monies paid to us for trips (not for insurance premiums) are protected.
We are also bonded to the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and we are members of Federation of Tour Operators (FTO) and ABTA - The Travel Association. This means you can book your Exodus holiday with confidence, as all monies paid to us for your trip are fully protected.
Please note: If you make a booking through a Travel Agent, all monies that you pay to the Agent (except insurance premiums) are at all times held by them on behalf of Exodus.
