The Exodus Travels Foundation will aim to promote responsible, sustainable tourism to ensure its trips have a positive impact on the destinations and environments they visit.
It also wants to educate customers so they become ambassadors for responsible travel.
Half of the £500,000 Exodus has set out to raise will come directly from the tour operator, while beneficiaries will be identified by the operator through its local contacts.
Three causes have already benefited from Exodus’s charitable endeavours – The Inspiration Project, Maa Trust and The Porter Project.
