Company Profile TimorGetaway is Timor-Leste's first locally owned, women-led digital tourism booking platform, and one of the newest voices in ASEAN's growing startup ecosystem. It connects international and regional travellers with authentic, curated, community-based experiences across Timor-Leste's municipalities, while empowering local MSMEs, 50% of which are women-led, through an AI-mediated booking pipeline that manages the full reservation process on behalf of providers with limited digital access. Every booking directly powers the livelihoods of community hosts like Auntie Rosa, Com's first guesthouse founder and tais weaving pioneer, creating jobs in eco-tourism, funding reef recovery, and sustaining community-owned livelihoods. This is not passive tourism; it is active regeneration. A winner of the ASEAN Blue Innovation Challenge 2024 (funded by the People of Japan and implemented by UNDP), TimorGetaway was formally incorporated in August 2025 and currently operates active listings in Com (Lautem Municipality) and Atabae (Bobonaro Municipality), with confirmed bookings from Australia, the USA, and ASEAN. Under its “One Municipality, One Destination” national expansion plan, TimorGetaway will onboard 200+ women-led and youth-led MSMEs across all 12 municipalities and RAEOA by 2030, with Atauro Island, Aileu, and Maubisse as next destinations launching in 2026.
