Right now, hospitality brands in the Philippines are actively recruiting creators. You're looking at hotels and resorts — Dusit Hotels Collabs, Abraham (a hostel brand), and Treehouse de Valentine — all with open opportunities. These aren't massive global chains, so expect more personalized partnerships and potentially faster turnarounds on decisions.
The compensation mix here leans toward comped stays and experiences, which makes sense for travel creators. Some opportunities will be purely trade (free nights in exchange for content), while others might include a creator fee depending on your following and the brand's budget. Dusit Hotels and Treehouse de Valentine tend to have more structured programs, while Abraham operates more flexibly as a smaller property.
What helps: a clean feed that matches the aesthetic of where you're pitching. Philippines collabs skew toward wellness, adventure, and island content, so if your vibe is beachside retreats or off-the-beaten-path stays, these brands will take you seriously. Smaller hospitality properties also care more about engagement rates than follower count — they want people who'll actually drive bookings, not just views.
Mostly comped stays and experiences, especially with Abraham and Treehouse de Valentine. Dusit Hotels Collabs sometimes includes a creator fee on top, particularly if you have 50k+ followers or strong engagement. Always ask in your pitch — some properties have small budgets set aside for creator fees, but you won't know unless you propose it.
No. Smaller properties like Abraham and Treehouse de Valentine care more about engagement and content quality than follower count. If your audience is genuinely interested in travel and you post consistently, you're competitive. Dusit Hotels might have slightly higher follower expectations (25k-50k range), but it's not a hard cutoff.
Smaller brands like Abraham and Treehouse de Valentine tend to respond within 1-2 weeks. Dusit Hotels, being a larger chain, might take 2-4 weeks since decisions go through more layers. Always follow up after two weeks if you haven't heard back — sometimes applications get buried.
Instagram Reels, carousel posts, and Stories are safest. TikTok is a bonus if you're strong there. They want authentic-looking content that shows the property in daily-life contexts — not just glamour shots. Be prepared to deliver 8-15 pieces of content per stay, sometimes with specific requirements around hashtags or caption mentions.
Abraham is hostel-based, so it's better for budget/backpacker vibes. Dusit Hotels and Treehouse de Valentine are more upscale and spread across different Philippine regions. Check which property's location actually fits your content style — pitching a luxury resort when you do budget travel will get rejected quickly.
