Dumaguete is set to become part of the latest expansion of Islands Souvenirs, as the Philippine retail and lifestyle brand grows its presence across several major travel destinations in the country. The expansion includes Panglao, Siquijor, Dumaguete, and Siargao, with new locations designed to serve travelers while creating stronger connections with local communities.
Marina Town in Dumaguete Set to Welcome Islands Souvenirs
Among the brand's upcoming locations is Marina Town in Dumaguete, which is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2026. The new location is part of Islands Souvenirs' wider rollout in strategic tourism and transit areas. The Dumaguete location adds another destination where visitors can encounter the brand while exploring the city and the wider Negros Oriental area.
Expanding Across Major Philippine Destinations
Islands Souvenirs is also expanding in other popular travel destinations. Its currently operating locations include the Bohol-Panglao International Airport, Tawala in Panglao, Sunset Bridge in San Juan, Siquijor, Isla Lane in General Luna, Siargao, D'Talipapa in Boracay, and Puso Village in Cebu City. Additional locations planned for the fourth quarter of 2026 include Marina Town in Dumaguete, Siquijor Airport, Hinagdanan Cave in Bohol, and Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2.
Creating More Than Traditional Souvenir Shops
According to the SunStar report, the new locations are designed as integrated tourist hubs, offering visitor information, community-focused touchpoints, and modern amenities intended to support travelers. The company said the expansion is intended to help local communities gain greater visibility among domestic and international visitors while supporting regional tourism. This approach positions the spaces as more than places to purchase travel souvenirs, bringing together retail, tourism, hospitality, and local culture.
