    Exceptional Quality and Authenticity

    At Lokal, we are dedicated to showcasing local and independent travel providers renowned for their exceptional services and unique insights into the destinations you'll explore. Our mission is to connect travelers with reliable, top-notch experiences that immerse them in the local culture and lifestyle.

    Deep Community Connections

    Our commitment to empowering local communities and safeguarding cultural heritage is unwavering. We collaborate with travel providers who contribute to the local economy, celebrate the cultural richness of their regions, and are enthusiastic about sharing their expertise and love for their homeland with visitors.

    Active Environmental Stewardship

    We firmly believe that responsible tourism plays a vital role in preserving the environment and uplifting local communities. As such, we present a diverse array of eco-conscious accommodations, tours, shops, and local guides, all devoted to safeguarding the natural wonders of the areas they inhabit.

Exceptional Quality and Authenticity

The spacious, well-appointed rooms and beautiful garden setting make Tanita House a great place to stay. But it's the history of this 160 year-old teak work home and your connection to Aor and her family that make it truly special.

FEE PER BOOKING

There’s no cost to add an experience to our marketplace, but Lokal does collect a commission on every completed booking. We will work with you to set net and rack pricing that is fair. We only get paid if we send you travelers!

Booking and Payment

Here’s some more info on what to expect about partnering with Lokal.

There are two ways we facilitate payments:
  1. Traveler pays Lokal in full – we can use our online payment system to collect the full booking price from travelers. Then we will arrange to send you your net rate through a wire transfer, PayPal or credit card payment.
  2. Traveler pays deposit to Lokal – we can collect a deposit from travelers (equal to our commission) and then have the traveler pay you your net rate in-person.
  1. Travelers will find your experiences on our site and be able to contact you directly to ask questions and check availability.
  2. You’ll receive an email when a traveler sends a request so you can provide more info and confirm details.
  3. If everything looks good, Lokal will collect payment and connect you directly to the traveler so you can communicate and prepare for the trip!

Yes! When you are approved as a Lokal provider and complete your first experience profile, we’ll send an announcement in our email newsletter and on social media to our global traveler community! Thousands of travelers will learn about your work and the experiences that you offer.

We can also help to connect you to travel bloggers, writers and other influencers who can help to share your story.
