What is a Guide Péyi?

On 8 February 2023, France-Antilles ran the headline: “Tourists are looking for the soul of the péyi”. It is to answer that expectation that Karikamo brings its expertise and its know-how.

Our approach

Where the Guide Péyi comes from

A headline in the press, public research, and a company’s answer to it. That is the documented origin of our approach.

The observation
Tourists are looking for the soul of the péyi
On 8 February 2023, France-Antilles — Guadeloupe’s newspaper — put that on its front page, in the Economy section. It is not a hunch: it is what visitors say they are looking for.
The evidence
Research that confirms it
The studies carried out by INSEE and the Guadeloupe Region in 2019 were already saying the same thing. The demand was documented before it made a headline.
The answer
Expertise made available
It is to meet that demand that Karikamo makes its expertise and know-how available — to local institutions, businesses, associations and individuals.
The stance
“Natives informing”
Our guides embody “Natives informing”, which enriches the role of the guide. They do not recite a territory: they come from it.
