March 06, 2024
In a world where the quest for more local and responsible tourism is gaining unprecedented momentum, Lokki.Rent, the benchmark for sports and outdoor equipment rental throughout France, is taking a decisive step forward in its mission to revolutionize sustainable tourism.
Driven by its commitment to making leisure accessible to all, Lokki.Rent announces the launch of its dedicated marketplace: designed to re-enchant outdoor adventures and simplify access to a variety of experiences, this new platform offers a comprehensive catalog of cycling, snowshoeing, skiing, surfing, paddling, kayaking and much more, available from over 3,000 rental companies across France. By merging innovation and local commitment, Lokki.Rent ushers in a new era in sustainable tourism, offering everyone the chance to experience memorable adventures with ease.
A platform for tailor-made outdoor experiences
Enhancing the value of territories through local players and communities: this was Lokki's mission when it was founded in 2019. Today, the Grenoble-based start-up democratizes access to leisure activities by offering an exhaustive directory of rental companies who are ambassadors for their regions. The platform has taken the gamble of optimizing its census of rental companies to enable the French to benefit from a diversified and comprehensive offering that meets all their needs in terms of leisure equipment.
Users can navigate easily between the different offers of leisure equipment rental companies, compare prices, different services (including complementary experiences such as hiking or training), read reviews and, in the end, book their equipment with ease. As for rental companies, joining Lokki.Rent means not only increasing their visibility, but also optimizing their bookings and maximizing their revenues.
A boost for local players
The figures speak for themselves: rental companies affiliated to Lokki.Rent benefit from increased visibility, with four times more clicks and an average shopping basket of €120. Since its creation 6 months ago, it has already enabled 1,400 leisure bookings in 2023: a boon for local tourism, which has been attracting more and more French people since Covid. Re-discovering the regions not only means contributing to their national and local vitality, but also reducing our carbon footprint and consuming less. Practices increasingly encouraged and adopted by the French.
"At Lokki.Rent, our mission is to create an ecosystem where every individual can easily access the pleasures of adventure and tourism, while contributing to the preservation of our environment. We firmly believe that technology can be a vector for positive change in the field of sustainable tourism. And that leisure activities can revolutionize our relationship with travel, getting us back on the move without necessarily going too far from home, or spending too much money or too much carbon", stresses Benoit Prigent, CEO and co-founder of Lokki.Rent.
In this drive towards more conscious, environmentally-friendly tourism, Lokki.Rent is fully in line with the philosophy of slow tourism, encouraging travelers to savor every moment of their experience and fully immerse themselves in the local culture.
