About Local Tourist

Local Tourist is the “locals” guide to your next resort vacation. Use our website to access detailed destination information when planning your upcoming getaway. Our guide blends destination information and editorial content with detailed business listings; specifically for unique resort markets.

When given the option, savvy travelers prefer to work directly with actual service providers. They know it’s the only way to get the best terms and lowest price. We’ll help you learn about your destination of interest and give you the tools to contact each local business yourself. Since we don’t sell any products or make commissioned travel arrangements, Local Tourist is able to provide unbiased advice and recommendations.

The travel industry has traditionally relied on heavy commissions and service fees to incentivize central reservations, booking agencies, and travel agents. Founded by travel industry veterans confident of a better way, Local Tourist provides an alternative to the traditional system. We offer resort destination service providers a cost effective way to earn your business, allowing them to pass the savings along to you.
