Why Lokal Recommends Localista

Background

Social Enterprise started in 2014| Locally Owned with 100% local staff

Community Connection

At our organization, we collaborate with indigenous communities, local guides, locally-owned service providers, and communal organizations. Our primary focus is to ensure that our supply chain is structured in a way that distributes the benefits of the services provided among the community.

Environmental Engagement

We recognize and abide by the carrying capacity limitations of National Parks, refraining from large-scale visitation and adhering to both their regulations and our own protocols concerning the impact of visitors.

Culture

We believe in the principle that sharing is essential to preserving and perpetuating cultural heritage. That's why we actively encourage our clients to not only visit these sites but to also share their experiences with others. By doing so, we aim to promote awareness among communities about the significance of their cultural heritage and encourage them to take measures to preserve it for future generations.
