The outermost small islands in the Talaud Island Regency have the potential to be developed into a tourist destination. The purpose of this study is to identify the existing conditions of tourist attraction in the outermost small islands. The existing conditions of tourist attraction in the outermost small islands have very good potential attractions. Attractions are in the form of Mane'e culture, underwater beauty, historical heritage and landscape beauty. Accessibility to Talaud Regency can be reached by sea and air transportation. There are 3 flights and 6 sailings to Talaud Regency in 1 week. Lodging is dominated by homestays owned by local residents. Tourism management is managed by the community and assisted by BUMDes. The method used is descriptive qualitative to identify tourist attractions in the outermost small islands. FGDs were used to identify appropriate strategies and collaboration models that could be used on the islands. Qualitative data were obtained through interviews with experts consisting of the government, businessmen, academics, the public and the media. To formulate a border tourism development strategy, it is analyzed using the Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) method. Meanwhile, the collaborative model of tourism development is based on a strategy that has been formulated along with the existence of institutions (actors/actors).
