On June 14, 2020, during the tough times of the COVID-19 pandemic, Local Escape was born. Why? Because we saw an opportunity to make a positive change.
While mass tourism was struggling, we had a different vision. Instead of focusing on large groups, we wanted to create meaningful experiences that benefit both travelers and local communities. Our goal was to prioritize small groups, ensuring a more intimate and responsible experience for everyone while helping local communities thrive and offer you, our fellow travelers, a deeper, more rewarding experience. Thatβs how Local Escape came to life.
Unlike mass tourism, which often leads to overcrowding and environmental strain, we focus on quality tourism. We value authentic experiences, sustainable practices, and meaningful connections with the places and people we visit. To preserve the uniqueness of lesser-known destinations, we even limit the number of travelers each month.
Since then, weβve created a great connection between travelers, local communities, and businesses β a more sustainable way to travel!
But our journey doesnβt stop here. Weβre ready to take you to the hidden gems of Indonesia, places waiting for explorers like YOU.
Welcome to Local Escape!
We don’t just sell trips; we craft experiences that turn into cherished memories, build lasting connections, and spark a deep love for the places we visit.
At the heart of what we do, we believe that every journey should be an extraordinary adventure, meticulously crafted to perfection from start to finish. Thatβs why weβre obsessing over every intricate detail and would curate destinations that we ourselves would want to experience.
Once weβve chosen the perfect destinations, you can relax and enjoy your trip with no hidden costs or surprises. Weβre also passionate about reducing our environmental impact while making a positive difference in the places we visit.
And we unlock exclusive access to the extraordinary for you. Whether it’s a secluded beach, a hidden gem, or genuine encounter with the locals, we make sure your journey is full of unique moments you wonβt find anywhere else.
We truly believe that travel has the power as a force for good to drive positive change where travel sustains locals β benefiting the local community, local economy, and local environment.
Thatβs our mission. From day one, responsible business practices have been at the core of everything we do. Weβre committed to giving back to the communities we visit and taking steps to protect the environment by offsetting the carbon from our trips.
Plus, as a way to show our commitment, we donate 3% of your trip purchase to the destination you visit.
This is just the beginning. Thereβs so much more we can do together, so join us in making travel a force for good. When you travel with us, weβre with you every step of the way β not just for your first adventure, but for the journey ahead.
