Our Localis
Vietnam's leading platform for authentic local experiences.
Localis.vn is a platform that connects travellers with cultural, culinary and everyday experiences designed and led by Vietnamese people themselves. We believe the soul of Vietnam is best discovered through its people: their crafts, their stories and their ways of life.
On Localis.vn, the people who lead experiences are called localis. They are artisans, artists, chefs, farmers, cultural researchers and local guides who turn their everyday lives into meaningful experiences for travellers. Every localis is a cultural ambassador for their homeland.
Localis empowers Vietnamese people to tell their own stories. We create a space where travellers can discover the real Vietnam, not through a list of sights, but through sincere human connections.
Every experience must be rooted in local culture, people, and stories.
Localis (experience leader) is the center - the platform serves them, not the other way around.
Tourism must bring long-term value to the community, avoiding short-term exploitation.
7-Criteria moderation system: Ensuring every experience lives up to expectations.
Three Pillars of Value Creation
A marketplace connecting travelers directly with localis (experience leaders).
The platform provides comprehensive tools for localis (listing experiences, managing bookings, receiving payments) and for travelers (discovering, booking, reviewing).
Multi-layered AI integration: personalized suggestions for travelers, listing optimization support for localis, and insights for Destination Management Organizations (DMOs).
The Localis team accompanies local authorities, tourism management boards, and residential communities in three main consulting areas:
With a foundation from Pencil Group - an entity with two decades of experience in strategic communications - Localis implements multi-channel tourism marketing campaigns, User-Generated Content (UGC) creation, destination branding, and international media connections to bring Vietnamese experiences closer to global travelers.
