Turn your island experience into a global opportunity
List your resort, tour, activity, restaurant, rental service, or local experience and connect with travellers looking for something extraordinary.
No cost. No exclusivity. Nothing published without your approval.
Built for operators, not for a booking desk
Most island businesses in the Philippines are discoverable only if a traveller already knows the name. That is the problem Islora exists to fix.
Reach travellers who are not finding you now
Most island operators are discoverable only through Facebook and word of mouth. A listing puts your business in front of domestic and international travellers who are searching by destination rather than by name.
One place for listings and availability
Rates, inclusions, group limits, cancellation terms and blocked dates live in one record you control, instead of being retyped into every message thread.
Enquiries come to you directly
Islora passes the traveller to you with the dates, the group size and what they are asking for already filled in. You answer as yourself, not through a call centre.
Your business, presented properly
A listing page with real photographs, an itinerary, what is and is not included, and honest safety and access notes — the detail that makes a stranger comfortable enough to book.
Built for how island tourism actually works
Weather cancellations, boat association fares, Coast Guard clearance, cash settlement on the day. The product is being designed around these rather than around a European city-break model.
Four steps, and a person at every one

You are there on day one
When Islora opens to travellers, founding operators' listings are live from the first day rather than joining a queue.
What we will ask for
None of it is needed to join the waitlist. This is what a finished listing takes.
- Business registration
- A Mayor's permit, plus DTI or SEC registration. If you are still in the process, tell us — it does not stop you joining the waitlist.
- DOT accreditation, where your category needs it
- Required for some tourism categories under Philippine rules. It is one of the things Islora checks before an operator is marked verified.
- Photographs
- Of the property or the experience itself. Phone photographs are fine if they are recent and honest. We would rather have real ones than polished ones.
- Your current rates
- What you charge now, and what is included at that price. Rates stay yours to set.
- Someone who can reply within a day
- An enquiry that waits three days is a booking lost. One contact who checks messages daily is enough.
What we can offer today, and what we cannot
Islora has no bookings, no signed operators and no launch date. You are being asked to join something early, so here is the honest position rather than a pitch.
What we can do now
- Build your listing with you at no cost, and show you exactly how it will look before anything is published.
- Give you a say in how the product works while it is still being designed.
- Put you in front of travellers from the day the marketplace opens.
What we cannot promise
- Tell you how many bookings you will get. Islora has no traffic yet, and any number quoted now would be invented.
- Give you a launch date. Supply comes first — the marketplace opens when there is enough on it to be worth booking.
- Show you commercial terms today. They are not set. Founding operators will see them in draft, with time to object, before anything is signed.
Join as a founding operator

The things operators ask first
Islora starts with the operators on it
Dinagat first, then outward. If you run something worth travelling for, we would like to hear about it.
