In response to the recent 7.1-magnitude earthquake near Tonga and the tsunami warnings that followed, Islands.co has reaffirmed its commitment to promoting safety, preparedness, and responsible travel across its growing portfolio of private island listings.
While no major damage has been reported on Tonga’s private islands, the event serves as a reminder of the unique challenges island destinations face. Islands.co CEO Georgio Daher emphasized the platform's role in encouraging best practices for safety and sustainability among island owners and travelers.
"Events like the Tonga earthquake remind us of the importance of safety and resilience, especially in remote destinations," said Daher. "At Islands.co, we’re committed to helping owners and renters make informed choices by supporting listings that prioritize preparedness and sustainability."
Tonga, home to more than 170 islands—some privately owned—has long been a sought-after destination for travelers seeking seclusion, marine adventure, and cultural depth. As interest in private island travel continues to rise, Islands.co is working to provide more information and guidance to ensure travelers can confidently explore these destinations.
The platform is currently exploring partnerships with experts in island infrastructure and safety to provide future resources on natural disaster preparedness. Islands.co also encourages property owners to highlight eco-conscious building, emergency planning, and local engagement as key features in their listings.
Islands.co remains focused on making luxury island travel both extraordinary and secure. With continued attention to safety, the platform aims to support not just memorable escapes—but also the long-term resilience of the communities and ecosystems that surround them.
