About Local Secrets Travel
Local Secrets is a trip planner that helps travellers to addresses the issues of inaccurate and commercialized travel information.
It provides authentic travel recommendations, curated and expert-reviewed recommendations on places, events, and itineraries in over 150 destinations worldwide.

Local Secrets aims to prevent the loss of local identities caused by mass tourism by promoting genuine cultural immersion and supporting the local economy through tourism excellence.
This ensures that travelers gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of their destinations, enabling true local experiences that preserve and celebrate local culture and heritage.
THE IDEA
The idea for Local Secrets was conceived to address several pressing concerns in the travel industry:
- Lack of Reliable Information: Popular digital platforms like Google and TripAdvisor provide abundant information about tourist destinations, but it often lacks proper quality and authenticity control. The lack of information and its low quality contributes to the gentrification of tourist destinations and the impoverishment of their offer.
- Loss of Local Identity: The influx of tourists has transformed some places into virtual theme parks, overshadowing their culture, heritage, and history. This not only deprives travelers of genuine local experiences but also obscures crucial aspects of the destinations.
- Economic and Social Impact: Mass tourism can negatively affect the local economy and disturb the peaceful coexistence with locals, leading to resentment towards tourists.
Local Secrets aims to tackle these issues by offering reliable, curated content that promotes authentic travel experiences while respecting and preserving the local identity and contributing positively to the local economy and community relations.
