“Discovering Harmony: Exodus Adventure Travels’ Innovative Path to Sustainable Travel”

Premier Travel Company Delivers Transformative Journeys, Contributing to Communities and Nature while Honoring B Corp Anniversary

NEW YORK, Jan. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Exodus Adventure Travels, a frontrunner in active small group guided experiences, announces its groundbreaking “Thriving Nature, Thriving People” methodology for responsible travel, which fosters conservation projects led by local communities for a sustainable and positive influence.

In recognition of its one-year milestone as a certified B Corporation (B Corp), the adventure travel provider is further dedicated to enhancing lives through travel, advocating for the harmonious coexistence between nature and humanity.

“At Exodus Adventure Travels, empowering our guests to engage in conscientious travel is essential to the journeys we design,” stated Kasia Morgan, Sustainability Leader at Exodus Adventure Travels. “By enabling local communities to preserve nature throughout our destinations, we can foster transformative travel experiences that not only immerse our guests in the splendor of this planet but also aid its healing and resilience. Each adventure we provide is carefully crafted to ensure a positive, enduring influence on the locations and individuals we encounter.”

A variety of Exodus Adventure Travels’ Thriving Nature, Thriving People initiatives encompass:

• Citizen Science Departures: In a groundbreaking initiative, travelers can engage in gathering crucial biodiversity data, aiding global conservation efforts on certain Exodus journeys.
• Rewilding: Collaborating with Rewilding Apennines, this initiative seeks to rejuvenate natural ecosystems throughout Italy. For each traveler, the organization finances the rewilding of 100 square meters of terrain, promoting biodiversity and the restoration of ecosystems.
• Ocean Restoration: This program emphasizes the protection and revival of marine environments through a collaboration with Blue Marine Foundation, alongside support from Exodus’ sister organizations. The focus of this project includes vital habitats such as seagrass beds and mangroves, which are essential for carbon absorption and nurturing biodiversity. Efforts extend to seven global regions, including the Dutch Caribbean, Greece, and Indonesia, with the objective of safeguarding 7,000 hectares of ocean habitat while involving and empowering local populations over the next three years.
• Wildlife and Animal Welfare: Committed to ensuring humane wildlife encounters, Exodus adheres to rigorous animal welfare standards, steering clear of experiences that involve cruelty or activities detrimental to wildlife. This policy incorporates backing numerous conservation efforts and fostering responsible practices in wildlife tourism across locations such as Kenya, Sri Lanka, and India.
• Empowering Disadvantaged and Under-Represented Communities: Through the initiatives of the Exodus Adventure Travels Foundation, the organization advocates for under-represented and marginalized communities by means of tourism projects. Examples of these initiatives include Exodus’ Mountain Lioness Project in Tanzania, which has assisted 30 trailblazing female porters in becoming mountain guides on Kilimanjaro. In Nepal and India, the Foundation’s Himalayan Community Project comprises various efforts, such as providing training and resources to women residing in remote Himalayan areas, enabling them to earn income during the off-peak season.
• Community Kickstart Projects: Exodus champions a variety of grassroots empowerment and conservation schemes via its international partner network. This can involve uplifting women, fostering entrepreneurship, or engaging youth in conservation efforts. Recently, The Exodus Adventure Travels Foundation collaborated with Portugal A2Z Walking & Biking as part of their Community Kickstart Projects, aimed at rejuvenating the country’s essential ecosystem following catastrophic wildfires that ravaged over 40,000 hectares in 2017 – including the historic 800-year-old Pinhal de Leiria forest.
