A company who wanted to reward its

approached Exotissimo to arrange a
trip to exotic Phuket. The brief was to
provide 475 staff with an innovative and
memorable trip including an extensive
range of unique and interactive activities,
ending with a spectacular gala dinner
and awards ceremony. A lot of the
facilities and services were not readily
available on the island of Phuket for this
size of group and therefore months of
logistical planning was required to get
everything in place in time for the start
of the event, which turned out to be an
incredible success. The main highlights of
their trip were:

A charitable organization founded in 2011, the EXO Foundation’s role is to advise
Exotissimo Travel teams and clients on best practices in responsible travel, ensuring
their activities support the sustainable development of tourism in the region. In
addition, the EXO Foundation provides promotional and financial support to carefully
selected projects and organisations as well as run its own projects at a grass roots level.
The organization relies on donations for financial support of its projects. Exotissimo
supports the EXO Foundation through its pledge to donate USD 1 per traveler and
covers the foundation’s overhead costs, ensuring that 100% of each donation goes
directly to supported projects. EXO Foundation encourages all travel agents to
participate in this exciting and rewarding initiative as part of their CSR activity.
