Short-burst Adventures For Time-poor Professionals

Exodus Travels has launched Exodus Edits – a new compact collection of meticulously curated adventure-grabbing small-group itineraries aimed at busy professionals in their 30s and 40s.

The lead-in tour is a five night ‘Summit and Spices in Morocco’, requiring three days off work, and is priced from £599, excluding flights.

Designed to bypass those endless hours researching the perfect getaway, Exodus Edits is for those who crave the adventures, but who now lack the time to put together their own experiential trips.

The programme focuses on short-burst experience-rich small group tours that offer more of the world in less time. There’s even a handy ‘days off work’ reference highlighted for each holiday, so travellers can pursue careers and travel, without using up all their annual leave.

Exodus Travels has launched the new brand in response to a rise in requests from a younger demographic for small-group adventures with a similar age mix.

It also follows results from a recent survey of over 1,000 UK travellers carried out by Exodus Travels, which found that 60% of respondents think it is important to travel with people who are a similar age to them. A further 70% claimed they would prefer to maximise their annual leave each year by taking a few shorter trips away.

Each Edit includes one-of-a-kind experiences, enriching moments and big bucket-list achievements. From European-based itineraries to more far flung options, there’s a range of trips to escape the ordinary.

For solo travellers, each Exodus Edits trip features a ‘solo room’ booking option or ‘share and save’. Both options are offered to match every traveller’s specific accommodation preferences.

There will be 22 Exodus Edits trips to choose from, with highlights including:
