What LE 5/5 does

Maore Tour, the trading identity of LE 5/5 and legally constituted as MAORE TOUR SAS, is a two-sided online marketplace that connects tourists visiting the French overseas department of Mayotte with local tourism service providers. The platform enables visitors to discover, compare, and book authentic local activities — including diving, boat excursions, jet ski tours, hiking, cultural workshops, and agritourism experiences — offered by certified local guides and activity operators. The platform operates as a self-service web-based marketplace accessible in French and English, with a dedicated Corporate Access portal for enterprise and group bookings.

The product is built around a vendor-side management dashboard (registration, listing creation, booking confirmation within 48 hours, built-in messaging) and a buyer-side discovery and booking interface organized by activity category. Payment processing is outsourced to MANGOPAY's escrow infrastructure, which holds buyer funds until 48 hours after service completion and releases them to vendors net of marketplace commission. No public API, mobile application, or AI/ML features are documented in the source materials. Vendors retain full pricing autonomy within a €30–€210 per-participant band, conditional on not undercutting their own off-platform rates.

The business model combines (1) a per-transaction marketplace commission, retained even on cancellations where vendors keep a portion of payment, and (2) recurring vendor subscription plans branded YLANG and BAOBAB, with first-year contracts fixed at 12 months and automatic renewal thereafter. Distribution is primarily organic through the maoretour.com website, supplemented by Conseil Départemental de Mayotte co-financing and promotion. As of the latest data, the platform reports 30+ certified local vendors, 500+ cumulative completed bookings, and a 5/5 average activity rating.

Revenue model

1. Marketplace Commission: MAORE TOUR charges vendors a commission equal to a percentage of the sale price for each booking completed through the platform. Commission is also due on cancellations where the vendor retains part of the payment. The marketplace uses MANGOPAY for secure payment handling and deducts commission before transferring funds to vendors.
2. Vendor Subscription Plans (YLANG and BAOBAB contracts): Vendors can subscribe to subscription plans (YLANG and BAOBAB) for vendor access. First year contracts are fixed at 1 year with automatic renewal thereafter. Early termination in first year results in full monthly payments due.
