Local Insights matches Travelers with Locals to connect over common interests, share experiences, and learn from each other. Our vision is that travel uncovers our similarities and that tourism continues to grow as a beneficial industry for marginalized people throughout the world.When traveling to a city, most travelers check online sources and visit social media sources to get an idea of the can't-miss places. Local Insights goes beyond the virtual by connecting travelers with locals so that together they can experience the heartbeat of a culture and discover common ground. Local Insights employs locals from marginalized and at-need communities to share their knowledge, heritage, and culture through encounters ranging from a conversation over coffee, a village walk, or a full-day immersive engagement. Our locals are trained and certified and help travelers create a lifelong memory with insights of the local people.Locals benefit from our model through dignified work on a schedule that best fits their circumstances. Travelers benefit from the exposure to an authentic cultural exchange while knowing their tourism funds are benefitting the local community.
