GlobalAssist – Your Local Travel Assistant Around the World
GlobalAssist is the umbrella company behind TanzaniaAssist, KenyaAssist, MadaAssist, and many other local platforms that are currently expanding into destinations in Africa, Asia, and South America. What started as a small social project in Madagascar is now growing rapidly across countries – offering travelers a better way to discover the world.
Why GlobalAssist Exists
Our founder, Samuel, a digital nomad from Switzerland, discovered a common challenge while traveling in developing countries: it’s often surprisingly hard to find and book services. Many local providers don’t have websites or even appear on Google. Information is often scattered across outdated Facebook pages, and contacting local businesses can become a time-consuming nightmare – if their phone numbers even work.
The Power of Local Knowledge
But Samuel also discovered something else: locals know how to find anything. They use local languages, local messaging apps, and local payment systems. By simply asking around, they can locate the best service quickly and for a fair price.
Bringing the Local Experience to Global Travelers
That’s why we created GlobalAssist – to connect travelers with local booking managers via WhatsApp. You send a message with your request, and our team finds, books, and negotiates the best local options for you. Everything is personalized, fast, and at a local price.
How GlobalAssist Works
Book Anything, Anytime
From tours and drivers to massages, deliveries, and car rentals – we make all kinds of services available to you. Unlike standard platforms like TripAdvisor, Viator or GetYourGuide that only offer fixed, expensive packages, GlobalAssist offers real-time, flexible bookings tailored to your needs. You can even create custom service bundles and get fast answers to any questions, directly on WhatsApp.
Secure Payments & Easy Cancellation
Pay easily online by card, and enjoy peace of mind with our 24-hour full refund policy. No more hassle with cash or unconfirmed bookings. We handle everything for you with trusted systems and full transparency.
Supporting Local Economies
Tourism That Gives Back
Over 90% of the money you spend stays in the country you visit. We work with local suppliers, hire local booking managers, and ensure fair salaries. Less than 10% of our revenue goes abroad – mostly for necessary tools like payment systems and software.
Let’s Change How the World Travels
With great reviews (4.8/5 on Google) and hundreds of happy customers, we’re building a platform that transforms travel in developing countries. Fast replies, competent consultation, local prices, and tailor-made experiences – all combined with strong tech and ethics.
GlobalAssist – Making Travel Local Again
We believe the best travel experiences come from human connections. And we believe locals should benefit from tourism. That’s why we do what we do – and we’re only getting started.
