Aito chairman Derek Moore is hoping to raise the profile of his new foundation, launched to put some of the money he made when he sold adventure travel company Explore in 2000 to good use.

Derek Moore served as chair of Aito for more than 10 years

The Derek Moore Foundation promotes “sustainable economic growth and empowerment” in disadvantaged communities around the world.


Moore will support some projects directly, but the foundation is also open to donations.


Having spent more than 40 years working in travel and tourism, Moore has travelled to more than 100 countries.


He told TTG: “There are lots of major charities out there that do a lot of good on a large scale, but this foundation will help smaller community projects. We will look under the radar, where just a few thousand pounds can make a big difference.”
