Reader’s Letter
I like Destinasi
How to subscribe?
My son brought Destinasi
Indonesia home, and I finally
read the magazine. In the
beginning I was reluctant to
read the magazine, but at the
end I must say I like it. The
magazine is full of information
including the prizes. I am a
mother of two adult children.
I still enjoy travelling with
friends. Now we are planning
to travel to Sawarna Beach.
I hope that it can be realized
soon.
The first time I saw the magazine was at
a hair salon. This is what I am looking for. Photography is my hobby. However, I am too busy
to search for information on interesting and
beautiful places to be my picture object. I got
a lot of information by reading this magazine.
Is Destinasi Indonesia a monthly publication?
How can I subscribe?

T sounds classic. However, that feeling grasp us as we
travel to different parts of Indonesia. The country is so
rich, so unique, and so extraordinary as the beauty
capture the soul.
Everything is so fascinating with its distinctive feature.
Touring means to see other aspects of the richness of the
Indonesian archipelago. Each region in Indonesia owns various commodities that interest the world. Indonesian coffee is
well known among the foreign country. Indonesia is the third
coffee producer in the world. Its specialty coffee has the
most variant in the world. However, the production and quality are not yet stable. Indonesia is behind Vietnam, which
has smaller coffee land, in coffee production. Vietnam is the
second coffee producer in the world.
Coffee farmers in our country are still running for know—
ledge and qualifications to be able to produce the best
quality coffee. That was what we saw in North Toraja, where
Destinasi Indonesia traveled this time to fill in the third edition.
In this edition, we inserted coverage on the long journey of Toraja coffee to be number one in quality. It also
discussed the magical culture and tourist objects of North
Toraja.
Finally, the more we travel, the more sensible we are. Augustine of Hippo (Saint Austin), the Theologian, once said,
“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only
one page.”
Enjoy reading!

Kupu-Kupu?
K
EINDAHAN alam, kubur batu, dan
upacara adat, menjadi objek wisata
di Toraja Utara, Sulawesi Selatan. Di
daerah itu, tebing-tebing tinggi dijadikan tempat peristirahatan terakhir.
Dipahat manual hingga membentuk ceruk
mirip gua dengan lubang berbentuk kubus. Di
situlah jenazah disemayamkan.
Di beberapa lokasi yang sudah menjadi objek
wisata, tebing-tebing dilengkapi jalan setapak
menuju gua. Di sepanjang jalan dengan mudah dijumpai kerangka dan tengkorak manusia.
Tersusun rapi di jorokan kayu dan batu yang ada
di tebing, ada juga yang berserakan atau ditata di
pinggiran jalan setapak. Sebagian lagi bertumpuk
di peti kayu yang sudah lapuk dimakan waktu dan
cuaca.
Toraja adalah ‘negeri’ kaya adat. Di tempat itu,
agama dan upacara adat berjalan seiring dengan
toleransi luar biasa. Rambu Solo’ (ritual kematian)
dan Rambu Tuka (ucapan syukur) merupakan dua
upacara yang tidak pernah lepas dalam kehidupan
masyarakat Toraja.

Toraja Utara ibarat ‘negeri’ magis. Gabungan
antara keindahan alam dan budaya yang
memberi kesan sihir/magis. Mirip dongeng dan
cerita di novel fantasi.
Taman Nasional Bantimurung
memang indah. Tapi jangan membayangkan akan berjumpa ratusan
kupu-kupu dalam berbagai ukuran
yang bebas beterbangan. Nikmati
saja keindahannya, dan syukuri jika
bila bisa menemukan kupu-kupu
dalam jumlah banyak.
J
ULUKAN Taman Nasional Ban
timurung Bulusaraung (TN Babul),
Sulawesi Selatan, memang The
Kingdom of Butterfly. Tapi siang
itu, hanya beberapa kupukupu kecil
yang berhasil ditemui sepanjang perjalanan
mendaki menuju danau.
Sopir mobil sewaan yang sekaligus ber
fungsi sebagai pemandu wisata, menjelaskan
bahwa kondisi TN Bantimurung memang
tidak lagi seperti dulu. Kupukupu kian sedikit,
apalagi yang besar dan warnawarni. Meski
demikian, Bantimurung tetap menjadi surga
kupukupu. Berbagai spesies dan aneka satwa
lain hidup di taman nasional ini.
Konon, sebelum Bantimurung ramai dikun
jungi wisatawan, masih banyak kupukupu
beterbangan, terutama di pagi hari. Bisa
dibayangkan, bagaimana fantastik kondisi
Bantimurung saat pertama kali ilmuwan asal
Inggris Alfred Russel Wallace (1823 – 1913)
mengeksplorasi Bantimurung, hingga dia
merasa perlu memberi julukan The Kingdom
of Buterfly.

Kicau burung selalu menyambut pagi di Bumi Bandhawa.

KOMODASI yang satu
ini tergolong istimewa.
Hanya memiliki 16
kamar dengan suasana
rumahan yang eksklusif
di tengah deretan pohon-pohon
pinus. Lokasinya mungkin agak
susah dicari, masuk ke dalam
perumahan dosen-dosen Unpad,
tepatnya di Jalan Konstitusi, Ban-

Bumi Bandhawa menawarkan
suasana romantis dengan landscap
taman yang tertata asri, dengan
dominasi pohon pinus. Di pagi hari,
burung kutilang, bondol, gelatik,
anis, dan cibek sibuk berkicau,
berkeliaran bebas di halaman dan
jalan-jalan setapak. Di dahan-dahan
pinus, terkadang tupai keluar me-
mamerkan kelincahan.
Bumi Bandhawa awalnya adalah
rumah pribadi yang berdiri di luas
lahan sekitar dua hektare. Ketika
akan dibuka hotel pada 2011, dibuatlah bangunan baru untuk tambahan
kamar dengan teras-teras yang
langsung menghadap kolam renang.
Gedung utama difungsikan sebagai
lobi berikut empat kamar tipe eksekutif dan satu tipe grand suite.
“Hanya kamar grand suite yang
memiliki bathtub, sedangkan kamar
lain berupa pancuran. Kamar grand
suite memiliki luas 48 meter persegi, biasanya diisi satu keluarga dan
sering dijadikan kamar bulan madu,”
papar Nani Rianto, sales manager
Bumi Bandhawa.
Lobi menjadi bagian hotel yang
patut dinikmati. Interiornya benarbenar dibuat seperti rumah, elegan

juga memiliki interior unik yang bisa membuat

Rumah Rahagi, demikian pemiliknya menurut
Nani memberi nama pada bangunan utama.
Rahagi memiliki makna aura positif, sehingga bisa
diartikan sebagai rumah yang membawa aura

Kayla, Raula, Marindra, Prasaya, dll.

Bagi anak-anak, Bumi Bandhawa juga membawa kegembiraan. Lokasi yang tidak terlalu
besar justru bisa memberi ketentraman bagi
orangtua. Setidaknya bisa mengurangi cemas
melepas anak berkeliaran sendiri. Berenang, bermain ayunan, memperhatikan burung, atau keluar

Keindahan Landscap dan interior yang unik
membuat Bumi Bandhawa kerap dijadikan
tempat pemotretan prewedding. Taman,
pohon pinus, balai bengong, lobi, jadi sasaran
latar belakang yang digemari.
Pesta pernikahan pun kerap dilaksanakan
di kebun. Namun, jika tamu lebih dari 200
orang, manajemen hotel menyarankan untuk
membagi dalam dua termin. “Tempatnya
tidak akan cukup. Jika dipaksakan jelas tidak
nyaman. Jadi, kami sarankan kedatangan tamu
dibagi dalam dua waktu. Misalnya, pertama
dari pukul 10.00 hingga 12.00 WIB, kemudian
dilanjutkan dari pukul 12.00 hingga pukul
15.00,” jelas Nani.
Bumi Bandhawa juga kerap dijadikan tempat
reuni dan meeting. Ada dua ruang meeting
yang bisa digunakan, pertama berkapasitas 40
hingga 70 orang, kedua 10 hingga 12 orang.
Lokasi hotel juga menjadi salah satu nilai
tambah. Meski lokasinya masuk ke dalam
kompleks perumahan, namun tidak jauh dari
pusat belanja Dago dan lokasi-lokasi kuliner

he beauty of nature, rocky cemetary,
and traditional ceremonies have
become the tourist objects of North
Toraja, South Sulawesi. In North
Toraja, precipice, high steeply sloping
mountainside, is made into burial vault.
It is carved manualy to form a niche that looks
like a cave with square hole. There, the corpse
reside.
In some location where cemetary has become
tourist object it is equipped with footpath that
leads into the cave. Along the way you can easily
find the human skeleton and skull nicely arranged
on woods and rocks protruded on the precipice.
There are some scatered or arranged next to the
footpath, while others stacked inside a decayed
wooden coffin.
Toraja is a land rich in tradition. The people
carry out religion and traditional ceremonies harmoniously. Rambu Solo’ (death ritual) and Rambu
Tuka (thanksgiving) are two main ceremoni are
two main ceremonies of Toraja.

Rambu Solo’
The death ceremony (Rambu Solo’) in Toraja always
takes place royally. In every traditional ceremony there
will be pig and buffalo slaughtering. The richer and the
higher the person in status, the more buffalos being
slaughtered. Rambu Solo’ is very important to the
people of Toraja. It is the completion of death towards
the world of the spirit. If Rambu Solo’ has not been
done the deceased is considered ill and will be kept
in the house. The length of time will depend on the
family’s agreement and readiness to do the ceremony.
It can take years before the family is ready. During that
period, the corpse is kept fully dressed. The family will
keep on serving food and drink every day. Even though
the dead body is kept in the house, it does not have
a stench. Other than formalin, they also use special
ingredients to preserve the body.

In the past, when access to the mountain was not
easy the corpse that will reside in the resting place
will be departed by magic. The mortal remain will walk
by itself towards the mountain. “During the walking
nobody should greet it or else it will fall and can no
longer walk. The family should announce the time and
day of the ceremony ahead of time so that people will
not greet just watch,” explained Karama, a Toraja man
that guide Destinasi Indonesia during the trip in North
Toraja.
“Nowadays magic is rarely carried out,” said Limbong the village Chief that accompany us. “Only some
young people who want to show off their power by
making a slaughtered buffalo walk,” add Limbong.
Peak of Event
The peak event of the Death
Ceremony in Toraja has always been
the most interesting attraction for
the tourists, especially the European
tourists. Their number reaches 80%
out of the total number of foreign
tourists that visit Toraja. They come
to witness and record the rituals
from body wrapping up to carrying
deceases to the cemetery.
Rambu Solo’ is also completed
with performances of various cultural arts, including buffalo fight prior
to the slaughtering.
These days, not all dead body
reside in the stone cemetery, some
are resided in a wooden house similar to Tongkonan, Toraja’s traditional
house, equipped with ornaments
and statues (tau-tau) that show the
number of body resided.
The stone cemetery and the
places where the corpse laid have
become the tourist object especially
for those who come when there is
no traditional ceremony occured.

Along the way, we can see

complete with the wooden
structure and skeleton.
Below the precipice, we can
easily see skeletons and skulls
scattered. Some of them are still
inside a decayed wooden coffin.
The end of the trace of Kete

of the dark cave. The 18-meter
long cave is also one of the
burials. If you are willing to enter
the cave, a guide is waiting in
the mouth of the cave to rent
flashlights for Rp 20.000. They
will guide you to every grave in
the cave.
This is one of the traditional
village and stone cemetery
often visited by foreign and local
tourists. The location is easy to
access, only 4 kilometer out of
Ratenpao, the capital of North
Toraja district.
Kete Kesu is a cultural heritage
zone. People can find ancient
Tongkonan, Toraja’s traditional
house, and rice barns more than
half a century old. It is not surprising if the roofs of tongkonan
turn green grown with spiraling
upward plants.
One of the tongkonan in Kete
Kesu is made into a museum. All
sorts of relicts such as, plates,
clothes, weaponry, fabrics and
many more, used hundreds of
years ago are kept nicely.

Precious and magical to see the

One of the holes is decorated with
four human statues that show four
deceased family members in the burial.
Below the precipice, there are coffins

The Ancestor of
the People of Toraja
Who is the ancestor of the
people of Toraja? Most of them
will say one of their ancestor
come from Yunan China. “It was
written in history and said by
the archeologist,” explained Aras
Parura, the advisor of the Indonesian Tour Guide Association,
Toraja branch and Yusuf Gelong,
from the Forestry and Plantation
Office of North Toraja.
That is why traditional houses
in Toraja are not only decorated
with buffalo head decorations but
also dragon carving. Dead people
will include their personal belonging just like the Chinese funeral.
Yusuf Gelong stated the same
reason. Since few months ago
his mother’s corpse lies in his
house, waiting to have Rambu
Solo’. His mother’s coffin is
red carved with golden dragon.
“I think this is one prove the
influence of Chinese culture in
Toraja,” said Yusuf.
Toraja itself means an aggregation of royals. Their original religion is Aluk Todolo. The religion
creates numerous traditional
ceremonies that still exist up to
these days, although majority
of the people of Toraja are now
Christians.
This is Unique! The people
carry out religious activities and
traditional ceremonies harmoniously. After the service, they
carry out traditional ceremonies.

This is where foreign tourists
spent their holiday to relax in
North Toraja.
Eat, drink while enjoying the
interior and art gallery.
The place is small but
attractive.
Interior
Various art articles from paintings
to carvings, the creation of young
Toraja artists, decorate the café.
Tourists that come will be interested
to buy. “As long as it is not the main
collection or the masterpiece, I will
let it go. This café is also meant to
be the free place for Toraja artist to
express their ideas,” explained Aras.
Aras Café is divided into three big
parts, front, top and back. The back
part, just around the open kitchen, is
partly open.
The furniture and art articles arrangement in the café is warm and
pleasant. There is a book corner and
several decorations on the wall. The
guitar hanging over a table gives a
homey impression. The guitar is not
just a decoration, but visitors are
free to play. At night, some tourist
guide would get together in an open
air to eat, drink, relax while playing
guitar.
Eat & Hangout
Aras Café is not just a place to
eat, but also for tourists to hangout and utilize free wifi to surf the
internet.
At dusk, foreign tourist relaxed in
front of their laptop. In the evening,
other than enjoying the food, most
of them chat while drinking beer
and wine.
Aras Café serves varieties of food,
western, vegetarian, and Toraja traditional food such as, chicken, fish,
or pork Pa’Piong presented with a
pretty final touch. The ingredient is
seasoned with varieties of spices,
stuffed into a bamboo then cooked
over a fire.
Most foreign tourists try Pa’Piong
and other Toraja specialties. “Just to
satisfy their curiosity and to experience culinary adventure in the place
they visited,” said Aras.
Kendala
Lama berkecimpung di dunia pariwisata, Aras Parura, mengeluarkan
unek-unek seputar akses jalan di
Toraja Utara yang rusak, hingga acap
kali menghambat perjalanan. Ketiadaan akses penerbangan reguler
juga menghambat pertumbuhan
pariwisata Toraja.
“Selain itu saya pikir, meski sudah
menjadi dua kabupaten berbeda,
akan lebih baik bila keduanya bekerjasama. Misalnya membuat satu city
map yang bisa memberi panduan
wisatawan. Toh letak kedua kabupaten ini berdekatan dan memiliki
budaya yang serupa,” katanya menutup perbincangan.
25
A
ras Cafe looks like a
commonplace from the
front. However, it is the
only cafe in Rantepao
city center, especially in
Jalan Mappanyukki. Eventhough
it looks ordinary, but do not judge
by its cover. You must come
inside to experience a different
atmosphere and interior. The
café is named after the owner,
Aras Parura, the Indonesian Tour
Guide Association Advisor, Toraja
branch.
Aras has been in the tourism
industry for a long time, opened a
souvenir shop and end up in Aras
Café. The concept of the café is a
combination of gallery and café.

Toraja Coffee
Journey
to the world
Toraja coffee has gone a long journey to be the primary
coffee overseas. The coffee process is an interesting attraction for the foreign tourist especially the European.
T
ORAJA coffee’s delight is doubtless. This proves the huge
numbers of Toraja Arabica coffee
fan. Unfortunately, coffee bean
production is behind demand due
to the poor management.
Other than that, it is interesting to know
the journey of Toraja coffee bean in crossing
the ocean. That was the experience we had
when we visit Toarco Jaya, a coffee company which 80% of its product is preserved
by Japan.
Toarco Jaya is located at Bokin District,
Ranteboa Sub-district, North Toraja. The
location is not far from Rantepao the capital
city of North Toraja. In a normal condition,
it only takes 30 minutes to go there by car.
However, with bad road condition the trip is
twice as long or almost 1,5 hours long.
The Journey of the Coffee Bean
Coffee was served during the discussion
with Toarco Jaya factory manager, Jusuf
Lontong, who just finished accompanying a
group of European tourist who wish to see
directly the process of coffee bean in the
factory.
We can see samples of coffee flowers,
unripe and ripe coffee bean, horn coffee
(unpeeled coffee bean), to green bean or
coffee bean ready to be dryly fried.
27
No Maximum
The trip around the factory ended in
about 30 minutes. Unfortunately, there is
nothing further. The tourism part is untouched, although the company is open for
visitors.
There is no café to relax or shop that
sells raw coffee bean. Whereas the cold
air in the area is a suitable place to relax.
“We haven’t thought about this,” said
Jusuf closing the conversation.
28
Jusuf explained in detail the process to keep
the quality. The processes include peeling the
red skin right after harvesting to avoid fermentation. The purpose was to keep the taste and
quality.
Then, he invite us to visit the factory located
around the management office. Coffee bean
need to go to many stages of processes, from
peeling, washing, up to selecting the machinery and labor.

Cup Taste
One of the most interesting parts is the
end process called cup taste. Trained experts are the one who do this part. They took
samples from every coffee bean sack, dryly
fried, ground then brewed in three cups. “If
the aroma and taste from the three cups are
different, the quality of coffee can be lowered
down. If it go through the green bean is ready
to be exprted,” explained Jusuf while inviting
the guest to do cup taste.
Another process is for second and third
grade coffee. The coffee beans are dryly fried
by machine to a certain degree. Coffee with
darker color (longer frying process) is ground
separately to be used to make ice coffee.
Other coffee are used for espresso or instant
coffee depending on how well it is fried.
Fact on Coffee Process
• It needs about 8 to 9 months to turn from coffee
flower to red granule and ready to harvest.
• The coffee lost 50% of its weight after peeling.
• It will lose another 20% of its weight after drying.
• And it will lose another 20% after processed into green bean by peeling the shell horn.
• Toarco Jaya Factory Manager mentioned about Rp 50.000 to go through the process.

•Selected coffee bean (perfectly
ripe) weighed and put in the tank
to peel the red skin.
•Clean the mucus, the red skin
is made into compost and liquid
waste is processed before it is
dumped into the river.
•Coffee bean is washed in a
long sink, and at the same time
selected base on its weight. The
light coffee bean will float.
•The coffee bean is ready to dry, it takes about 6 days to reach
10,5% of the bean’s water content.
•Dried coffee bean is put in the
Huller (shell horn peeler)
•From the Huller to the Grader, the
purpose is to separate the beans
base on its size.
•And then into the graffiti to separate the light and heavy bean once
again.

bean is put in sacks and labeled.
Coffee from every sack is taken
for sample and to be inspected
manually. When there is defected coffee

coffee has to go into the selection process again.

is put in the fryer and fried into
different degrees. The highly fried coffee bean
(black color) is used to make ice
coffee.

experts.
It is ready to be exported when it
gives the same taste.
DESTINATION: BANTIMURUNG
Is Bantimurung
still the heaven of
30
butterflies?
B
ANTIMURUNG National Park in
Bulusaraung, South Sulawesi is
called The
Kingdom of Butterfly. However,
only a few small butterflies were
seen along the way to climb towards the lake.
The driver who is also the guide, explained
that the condition of the national park is no
longer the same. The amounts of butterflies
are decreasing especially the large and colorful ones.
Nevertheless, Bantimurung is still the heaven of butterflies. There are various species
of butterflies and animals live in this national
park.
It is said that, before Bantimurung was
crowded with travelers, there was still lots of
butterflies fluttering, especially in the morning. You could imagine how fantastic that
place was when Alfred Russell Wallace (1823
– 1913), the English scientist, first came to
explore. He found the need to label BantimurungThe Kingdom of Butterfly.
31
Bantimurung National Park is
lovely. However, do not imagine to
encounter hundreds of butterflies
in various sizes flying around. Just
enjoy the beauty and be thanful
when you are able to see them.
32
Museum &
Jamala Pool
Babul National Park is equipped with
museum. There are varieties of butterfly species preserved. Not far from the
museum you can see Jamala Pool that
faced the swimming pool. Jamala pool
was believed to be the place where the
goddesses bathe, the local people call it
the goddesses lake.
The greenish water looks pretty. It
gives misty reflection when photographed. The people believed the water
has special quality, like what is written
on the information board. It is believed
to cure various illnesses, help find your
soul mate, and to avoid magic spells. The
truth is up to each individual’s believe.

Walking further in, visitors will pass the edge of the
precipice before they finally see the Bantimurung Waterfall. The visitor’s favorite is not too high only about
15 meters, and there are some part that is sloping
gradually that create a natural slide.
Next to the waterfall, there are stairs to take you
further in to the lake and stone cave. It takes 30 to 45
minutes to get there. Along the way, you can feel the
jungle atmosphere, dense and quite. On the left, you
can see a lake and river, its water flows down to be the
waterfall.
On clear weather, the lake and river in Bantimurung
National Park have magnificent color. The greenish
color gives misty image so beautiful that looks like
a painting. Occasionally you can see butterflies and
according to some local people who own little shops
along the ramp, sometimes you can see Sulawesi
black monkeys especially during fruit season
After several minutes of walk, there is a still water
lake, it has a riverbed that makes the lake dangerous.
No wonder they put a sign that says, “Swimming is
not allowed”, because there has been victims in past.
Stone Cave
34
Bantimurung Waterfall
Again you can see the greenish water. Unfortunately,
the beauty is not completed with butterfly. That afternoon
not more than 10 butterflies were there. The shop owner
explained that many butterflies fluttered around in the
morning.
From the lake we continued the journey to Stone Cave.
The shop owner guided, accompanied and helped us rent
a flashlight about Rp 20.000.
The journey ended in Stone Cave. Tourist may go down.
However if you want to stay longer you can explore more
interesting tourist objects. Babul National Park has at least
80 beautiful caves and kartz mountain.

Begitu pesawat mendarat di Bandara International Minangkabau, kami langsung menuju

yang berusia lima dan si sulung 12 tahun, tetap
riang gembira. Terlihat asyik menikmati pemandangan indah berkelok dan berbukit disepanjang
jalan.
Setiba di Bukittinggi, kami menginap di Hotel The Hills. Hotel itu jadi pilihan setelah kami
browsing dan mendengar rekomendasi dari
teman-teman. Letaknya di atas bukit dengan
pemandangan Gunung Merapi yang masih aktif
serta Jam Gadang khas Bukittinggi yang sudah
sangat terkenal. Objek pertama yang kami yang

As the plane landed at Minangkabau International Airport,

reserved the car ahead of time with friends’ recommendations
and the internet. The trip takes five hours. It is a long trip but our

enjoy the beautiful view on a hilly and winding road
As we arrived in Bukittinggi we checked in at The Hills Hotel.
We picked the hotel from the internet and friends’ recommendations. It is located on top of a hill overlooking the active Mount

Meanwhile the labors from Bukittinggi were recruited for a different
project. The purpose was to keep
the secrecy of the cave’s map in
Bukittinggi.
After we had enough
exploring Bukittinggi, the
next day we chase for
Mak Itam, a tourism train,
Sawahlunto’s pride. Sawahlunto is a mining city that
experience glory during
the Dutch Colony. We did
not stay at Ombilin Hotel
intentionally, even though
the location of the hotel is
closer to Padang Panjang
Train Station where Mak
Itam started its journey.
The children are so anxious
to visit the Japanese Cave
in the beginning and the
Hills Hotel offered a One
Stop Holiday Program.
That morning we hurried
to Padang Panjang Train Station about two hours drive
from Bukittinggi.
It felt like chasing the
time. Knowing Mak Itam

To enjoy Mak Itam Tourism
Train you have to pay the rent
for 4 million rupiahs. How
expensive! Do not panic, the
rail car can accommodate 30
people. The car is full most of
the time, so we have to make
reservation at least one day
in advance. The purpose of
prior reservation is not only
a matter of expense but also
technical matter. According to
the officer, the engine has to
be warmed up one day before
departure.
After we had enough exploring the hilly
Sawahlunto and its surrounding area, we
visited some historical place. In 2005, the
collaboration of the local government and the
PT Kereta Api (the railroad company) made
Sawahlunto Train Station into the second Train
Museum in Indonesia after the one in Ambarawa.
You can see rail cars from different era and
steam miniature locomotive. Hundreds of
equipments used to operate the train are also
part of the collection at the Train Museum.
We also visited the historical building called
Pek Sin Kek. The name was taken from a Chinese businessperson who came and resided
in Sawahlunto in the 20th century.
Pek Sin Kek was a successful entrepreneur.
In 1906, he built his business and home at the
city center.
The house was once used as a theater,
Malay Society, Ice Factory, and after it was
revitalized in 2005-2006 the Chinese design
building is now a souvenir shop. Tourist

The Power
of Slogan
Two to five words tied together in a
slogan can obviously change the people’s
welfare of a country.
H

The following are slogans released
by several countries in Asia:
Indonesia: Wonderful Indonesia
Laos: Simply Beautiful
Singapura: Your Singapore
Brunei: Brunei, The Green Heart of Borneo
Kamboja: Kingdom of Wonder
Hong Kong: Asia’s World City
Jepang: Endless Discovery
Malaysia: Truly Asia
Korea: Be Inspired
Mongolia: Discover Mongolia
Taiwan: The Heart of Asia
Filipina: It’s More Fun in the Philippines
Thailand: Always Amaze You
Vietnam: Timeless Charm
Horizon
ow strong is the influence of a slogan
to increase tourism? Many countries
have benefited from a slogan that can
strengthen branding.
In the beginning of 2013, the Philippines released a new slogan It’s
more fun in the Philippines to help reach target
visitor that was projected until 2016.
The Philippines Department of Tourism claimed
that their slogan was the trending topic in the
social media. The result after 10 months of the
release, 3,2 million tourists have come to the Phi
lippines, 12% increase from the previous year.
The Philippines is optimistic that they will reach
4,2 million of foreign tourist this year and 10 million by 2016.
The Philippines is one among other countries
that experience the power of a slogan. For a long
time people realize the importance to find the
right slogan for branding.
Orlando, a small city in America with 249.562
populations, is an example of a successful slogan.
In 2009, consciously the government of the city of
Orlando released a new slogan, Orlando Make
Me Smile. The slogan was translated into different languages Mandarin Spanish, Portuguese and
French.
The following year they can feel the impact with
the increase of the foreign tourist. Then a survey
was conducted. The result 50% of homemakers
who watch the advertisement with the slogan
planned to have vacation in Orlando. Mothers who
never see and listen to the slogan only 36% said
that they are interested to visit Orlando.
That is the power of a slogan. No wonder countries are competing in joining two to five words
that reflect the tourism strength of each country.

I Love Indonesia

sports activities there.
I love Indonesia. Unfortunately, some tourist objects
in Indonesia are not well
maintained. There are some
dirty toilets and even no toilet
or trash bins. The government should have budgets
for maintenance. Maybe the money
was corrupted.
The tourism office should pay attention on the cleanliness of the tourist
places. Indonesia has many exotic
places other countries do not have.
Those places need to be taken care
of. Tour awareness is not only for the
people but also for the government.

Holiday in Dieng
Can you guess where those deer are? They are not far
away from Jakarta in Ranca Upas, Ciwidey Bandung. If you
want to spend your vacation there wear something warm
to conquer the mountain cold air. The place also provide facilities suc as flying fox, motorcycle track, camping ground,
paint ball, and you may feed the wild relocated deer. Other
than Ranca
Upas, Kawah Putih is located just a short distance. One
thing that you need to be aware of is when traveling by
car make sure the car is in good condition because of the
ascending road. Interested? (Nathan)
To spent the holiday with the whole family is a luxury.
Not long ago we decide to have vacation in Dieng, Central
Java. As we arrive, the first thing we did was to visit Telaga
Warna (Colored Lake). Coincidently the lake is not far from
the hotel we stay only 20 minutes drive. From there we
continue the trip to Dieng. Our twins were so fascinated
and amused looking at the sulfuric craters. They both keep
on walking to the highest place. Even though they were
so enthusiastic in climbing the mountain on foot but as
soon as they were offered a horse ride their attention soon
shifted. At the end, they ride the horse to go around Dieng.

Story corner
SAYA lama tinggal di Jakarta karena
pekerjaan. I often wander around and
mingle the friendly Indonesians. I like
Jogjakarta and fall in love with it. The
people are friendly and the tourist objects are interesting. Borobudur is one
of the tourist object I like. We can see
marvelous historical site. I also love
the view around Mount Merapi and its
surrounding.
Other than Jogjakarta, I also love
Ubud, Bali. The traditional cultural
value and religion are highly honored
there. This is what made tourists like
to stay long in Ubud. In Jakarta, I like
the atmosphere in Gelora Bung Karno
where there still many leafy trees and

The goverment already arrange the
potentials and regulations that will put

indeed mostly are for marine tourism. We will process it further right
away, to get approval for example in
a form of the President’s Instruction,” explain
Sudirman Saad, DG KP3K KKP.
Sudirman explained that the government intended to speed up the
investment in small islands. The
effort was done to push the development of the national economic,
and definitely will not disrupt the
sovereignty.
Among the 100 islands released
there are Cambang-Cambang
Island in Pangkajene District
(South Sulawesi), Sanrobengi
Island in Takalar District (South
Sulawesi), Pasi Gusung Island in
Selayar District (South Sulawesi),

of the regular activities done every
year to accelerate the development of the small island in Indonesia. “We have varieties of economic resources and potentials,
but not yet well capitalized and
executed for the people’s welfare,”
said Sudirman.
The event took place on 29-30
October 2013 opened by Sudirman
Saad. The Greek Ambassador
Georgios Veis and the Swedish
Ambassador for Indonesia Ewa
Polano were the key speakers.
Through the meeting, local authorities as the owner of the area

and investors.
As the biggest archipelago in the
world the investment opportunity
in small islands in Indonesia is
still wide open and will keep on
developing including investment in
the small outer islands, explained
Sudirman.
“This policy is supported by
regulations related to investment
mechanism in the small islands.
Some local authorities stimulate
investment in small islands by
promoting, establishing investment mechanism and facilitating
licenses,” he said.
