Dear readers,
How are you? Have you had a chance to take a short break from
work?
At BINA, our team members have been taking turns enjoying some
well-deserved holidays. One of us travelled to Morocco to attend a major
international conference—an important milestone for her vocational
development—while also taking a few days to relax with family. Another team member flew to Indonesia to attend the final
thesis defense of their beloved child. One journeyed to Mecca and currently in
Indonesia with their extended family. As for myself, I’m now spending my summer
break in Vietnam.
No matter how busy life gets, taking time to pause, rest, and
recharge is essential. We hope this season brings new energy, inspiration, and
a renewed sense of purpose for all of us.
In this newsletter, we are proud and excited to announce that
Jappa-jappa by BINA, our Tour-Travel-MICE is now ready to welcome international
travelers—especially from Europe and the Netherlands—to explore the beauty and
diversity of Indonesia.
In collaboration with Dolanesia, led by Mr. Martin Lukas, of
which I am also a co-founder, we are preparing a series of travel packages that
are safe, comfortable, and uniquely curated—designed to create meaningful and
unforgettable memories for every guest.
We are also pleased to share our special collaboration with
Sulawesi tourism expert Farhan Hiola, who will curate travel experiences
tracing the rich Islamic history of Gorontalo. This initiative will be offered
under Sadjadah Travel, the Muslim-friendly travel division of Jappa-jappa by
BINA.
Last but not least, with heartfelt gratitude, I am proud
to announce the launch of Elkumene Travel, the Christianity-focused division of
Jappa-jappa by BINA. Our sincere thanks go to Reverend Ida Pattinama, whose
prayers and guidance have helped lay the foundation for this platform. Through
Elkumene Travel, we will begin curating spiritual and pilgrimage journeys for
Christian and Catholic travelers to sacred destinations around the
world—deepening faith and bringing people closer to God.
Of course, there are many more updates and stories to share,
but we invite you to enjoy the rest of this newsletter at your leisure.
From Da Nang, Vietnam, I wish a joyful Summer Holiday to those
currently on vacation—and to all our readers:
Be Healthy and Be Happy!
