I Like Local

I Like Local is a digital marketplace that inspires positive change for our planet by connecting travelers with local communities that provide immersive travel experiences which fosters economic and social inclusiveness.

We want more people to reap the benefits from tourism to their destinations. Until now, the power structure of tourism has been unequally distributed, with industry players at the top collecting all the benefits without allowing it to trickle down to the rest of the population. At I Like Local, we want to democratize tourism for local communities and improve their livelihoods.

Our platform is the means to achieve this purpose.

Our values:

Connect - We strive to bridge the gap between cultures by bringing people together through immersive off-the-beaten-path travel experiences that create meaningful connections with local people.

Engage - We believe in the transformational power of travel. Immersing yourself in local experiences promotes cross-cultural understanding and teaches travelers and hosts new global perspectives.

Empower - Travel can transform economies which is why we aim to empower local people by offering them a fair income plus training and development programs to help take their initiatives to a higher level.
