• About the Magazine – “The Lokal Guide”
• As the name suggests, the magazine’s primary focus is to highlight worthy topics of events varying in business, culture, tourism, sports, entertainment, health,h and so much more happening in St. Lucia.
  We are your local guiding literature.
  The magazine is published bi-monthly and available to the public free of charge.
  Five thousand magazine copies are printed per edition since we focus on an island-wide distribution. Various platforms circulate the magazines, including hotels, airports, cafes, gas stations, restaurants, and shopping malls. Still, in every lobby we can find, such as barbershops, salons, canteens, etc. A digital copy of the magazine is also available on Issuu and our website, www.thelokalguidestlucia.com, where we present a whole new platform for advertising and daily readers’ digest.
• The magazine aims to feature the island’s diverse culture while promoting it as the remarkable global tourism destination it has become known for. Additionally, the magazine is specifically curated not only to showcase all things tourism but to give readers, both locally and visiting, the opportunity to learn about what’s trendy at any specific period.
  The magazine also features cultural and traditional practices, landmarks, leadership, corporate St. Lucia, economic growth, nightlife, national dishes, health & law practices, island wear, music, dance, tourist sites & activities, carnival & other highly anticipated celebratory annual events, sports and so much more. We particularly emphasize promoting locally manufactured products, as this initiative boosts investment opportunities.
• We aim to promote St. Lucia to an intimate extent, showcasing business and tourism possibilities and stimulating its rich history and cultural diversity.
  The Lokal Guide represents a radical amalgamation of objectives geared towards marketing St. Lucia on a large scale and creating business investment opportunities by demonstrating natural resources, local products, and constructive information on the country’s development.
• Our vision, guided by relentless focus, is to illustrate St. Lucia’s true riches so that we can be notably recognized worldwide. We strive to deliver operational excellence for every aspect of the magazine. We aim to make an audacious and permanent impression in the eyes of our readers and potential clients through our strategic marketing intent.
  Our motto reinforces and strengthens the audience’s memory of a literary product.
