We are on a mission to transform the way people explore and experience the world.
Fast Facts
How we started
Our story began with a vision: to transform travel into something more meaningful. Inspired by the hidden gems found in every corner of the world, we realized that the true essence of travel lies in the connections we make with people and the stories they share. It is these authentic interactions that turn ordinary trips into extraordinary experiences.
The establishment of LocalBini AG as a Swiss stock corporation in 2020
marked a significant milestone. With a professional governance structure in place, including a Board of Directors and an Advisory Board, we continue our journey, one dedicated to innovation and the continued development of our proprietary platform technology. Today, we are proud to offer a robust, fully integrated, reliable solution that connects travelers with local experts for meaningful experiences.
Ever since, LocalBini has been on a mission to bring people together, creating connections that respect the local communities. Today, this belief is embodied in every unique service we provide, each one a reflection of our enduring mission to connect people, cultures, and stories.
