The Islands WayThe Islands Group is all about making travel in the Philippines an unforgettable experience. Plain and simple passion for service, understanding what the market needs, and drive to deliver great value have shaped the Islands Group into the multi-awarded brand it is today.Technically speaking, we also have an extensive network of resources and suppliers, and an efficient organizational infrastructure to back up our strong entrepreneurial drive and a steady stream of ideas. Over time, we’ve cultivated trust and top-of-mind position with the consumer for our no-nonsense attitude towards travel (and at Islands, we take fun seriously).The Islands Group has started small with Islands Souvenirs, but over time, we’ve expanded to other subsidiaries nationwide, with various pioneering components in hospitality, adventure, retail, tours, media, and design. The work of the Islands Group is that of demand support — sweeping through the travel business and finding its little nooks and crannies where the needs of travelers have often been overlooked.Once Upon a TimeFounded in 1992, by Jay Aldeguer (President and Chairman), the Islands Group traces its history back to the early beginnings of Islands Souvenirs. By transforming cottage-industry souvenir products and giving it a fresh take, it revolutionized souvenir shopping and carved out a new niche for itself by providing premium quality souvenir items that are creatively designed and packaged in vibrant retail environments. Islands Souvenirs has expanded beyond expectations covering a wide network of over 80 outlets across the Philippines. The same winning formula was applied with the creation of Islands Banca Cruises, which elevated and professionalized the island hopping experience. It has been met with much demand, propelling the Group to keep adding new boats to its fleet. Now, the Islands Group is busy with its newly-launched chain of value hotels, Islands Stay.
