Exotissimo Travel was established in 1993 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. We are now one of the longest established inbound tour operators in Indochina, Myanmar and Thailand and one of the best known.
Exotissimo is a strong advocate of responsible travel. We are fully committed to conserving natural resources, protecting local cultural heritage and making positive impacts in the communities with which we come into contact.
Calling Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand our homes, we love to showcase the beauty of our countries through our tours and inspire in guests a genuine interest in the region. We firmly believe in giving back to society and working with local charities to support community development. Wherever possible, we try to introduce our guests to local partners in sustainable tourism, such as disabled handicraft centers or vocational institutions that train local youths or the disadvantaged.
We aim to tread as lightly as possible when conducting our tours. Our travel partners adhere to our responsible travel policies and all Exotissimo guides strive to assist travelers in understanding local culture and etiquette. To encourage travelers to act responsibly, all guests on arrival to our destinations will receive an Exo Cares booklet that provides guidelines on cultural and environmental sensitivities.
We have also set up the Exotissimo Foundation, an initiative that raises funds for charitable projects and contributes to the development of sustainable tourism in Southeast Asia.
The charitable arm of Exotissimo Travel, Exotissimo Foundation offers financial support to charitable projects and contributes to the development of sustainable tourism in Southeast Asia. Each year a charity is selected as the recipient for the Foundation’s aid.
In 2008, the Exotissimo Foundation donated over 100,000 US dollars to assist the affected communities of Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar. With these funds, a clinic was built, schools were repaired, humanitarian supplies and agricultural equipment were donated to local villagers. For 2009, we are looking at a variety of organizations in Southeast Asia to which we will direct this year’s funds.

Exo Cares: As part of our responsibility to protect Southeast Asia's unique natural and cultural heritage, Exotissimo’s Exo Cares booklet is a guide that outlines simple things you can do to have an enjoyable but low-impact trip. All guests to our destinations receive this useful booklet on arrival. Download your copy here, or view it online: French Version : English Version.
