About
#LocalsFromZero mission is to connect people with unique local artisans, experts, associations, clubs, charities, and more. All these are often invisible or somehow overlooked local actors that contribute greatly to the preservation of their traditions, culture, and environment. #LocalsFromZero takes care of their prudent involvement in the global tourism market.
The frequent reasons for the invisibility of such stakeholders are lack of resources in advertising, digitization, bureaucracy, etc. That is why #LFZ Scouts exist in their host country to find them and help them show their inspiring skills and experiences to the world.
Be curious and prudent yourself – and visit them for additional authentic and memorable experiences of the regions you travel through!
