Our Story

IIG started as Island Info Guide - a verified review platform built specifically for Caribbean tourism. We saw that the review economy was broken: when tourists leave reviews on major platforms, there's zero proof they ever visited. Competitors leave fake negatives. Owners solicit fake positives. The system runs on trust that doesn't exist.

We fixed this by building a platform that sits at the heart of the tourism transaction. Every review on it is tied to a verified order, booking, ticket, or redemption. If you didn't transact, you can't review. Period. That platform is Destinito, and it is still the product IIG builds and runs.

"Your Destination Starts Here" - Destinito, IIG's platform, has evolved from a Caribbean review site into a complete destination operating system, powering airports, ports, hotels, and local businesses with structured data and AI-driven traveler engagement.

From Island Info Guide to International Innovation Group

As our platform grew, so did our vision. What started as Island Info Guide - focused on Caribbean islands - naturally expanded as we recognized that every destination faces the same challenges: how to engage travelers, support local businesses, and deliver authentic information.

IIG now stands for International Innovation Group - reflecting an expanded scope while honoring our origins. Today IIG is two things at once: a consultancy that advises airports, ports, hotels and destinations, and the company that builds Destinito. Destinito is the consumer-facing brand and the platform itself, with airports and ports as the primary entry points that drive travelers into the destination ecosystem. They are deliberately separate brands - you can hire IIG without deploying Destinito, and deploy Destinito without hiring IIG.
