Lintang Buana Tourism Services’s Profile

About Me

In 1997, Agung Yoga Asmoro entered a National Tourism Institute in Bandung (STP Bandung) with one dream so he can travel around the Indonesia archipelago and round the world. And soon after he completed his study and spent a couple of years learning in the real tourism related environment, plus his experienced both as independent traveller for his half-the-world journey or taking groups as an International Tour Leader he dare him self to founded Lintang Buana Tourism Services with nothing more than a passionate desire to create an authentic, eco-oriented style of travel and sustainable travel experience in Indonesia.
Almost ten years later, the only thing that hasn’t changed is an inherent belief in the core values that continue to inspire our being and business today.

By using our services, you as guests have already help implementing more Responsible Tourism.
Lintang Buana Tourism Services as a locally owned and managed company is committed to Responsible Tourism which took similar form as The 2002 Cape Town Declaration on Responsible Tourism in Destination.
We are always travelling in a way that is respectful of local people, local culture, local economies and the environment. With your participation we can help conserve the areas we visit and bring positive benefits to local communities.

Lintang Buana Tourism Services is committed to a style of travel that is environmentally, culturally and socially responsible - we call this 'Responsible Travel'. It is implemented on our trips through the following features:
* Travel using local public transport or chartered from locally owned small company where possible. Our transport fleet is so efficient and so minimises pollution which effect to global warming.
* We always preferred to choose small-scale locally owned accommodation and homestays where available and local restaurants and markets for dining, retaining revenue in local communities.
* Our Tour Guides facilitate communication of our values to travellers and local communities, educating them in sustainable tourism practices.
* We employ local guides to aid travellers' understanding of local culture and etiquette in certain tourist sites.
* We are committed to putting back into the communities and regions we visit by supporting many aid, development and conservation projects in these areas. Much of this support is through our Lintang Buana Foundation which have objective to improve local people education in tourism. The real example of such aid is that we provide tourism high school scholarships for the potential students with low economy background.

Lintang Buana Sustainable Development Policy
We at Lintang Buana recognise that the tourism industry impacts local communities and the environment therefore, as a tour operator, we must manage the impacts we create in the way we operate our business.

We are aware that the health of our environment, the wellbeing of our people, the contribution to wealth of local economies and the way Lintang Buana does business overall are areas that are intrinsically linked to the success and longevity of our business. Therefore Lintang Buana is committed to tackling the issues we face in each of these areas and will work toward sustainable operations by including environmental, social, economic and ethical considerations in our business practices and in our decision making processes.

We aim to manage our impacts in the following way:

Environmental Responsibility:
* To ensure we are working toward protecting the environment both locally and globally by using resources in an efficient, fair and responsible way.
* To have our trips designed in a way that limits the physical impact on our planet and the places we visit so that they may be enjoyed by many generations to come.

Social Responsibility:
* To protect human rights within our sphere of influence and ensure that all our people including our staff, travellers, suppliers and local communities as well as other stakeholders who are impacted by our business, are treated with fairness and respect.
* To work with our stakeholders to tackle issues that act as barriers to responsible practices in order to promote equity across our global community and protect our most vulnerable societies.

Economic Responsibility:
* To ensure our wealth is distributed in a way that is beneficial to our staff, host communities, suppliers, shareholders and other key stakeholders while achieving sustainable growth of Lintang Buana and our associated companies.

Governance & Ethical Responsibility:
* To live out our core values, achieve our purpose and work toward our long term vision by being accountable for the impacts that we have on our planet.
* To have effective systems and good governance in place to help us understand and manage our impacts on society and the environment.
* To work against corruption in all its forms.

We aim to implement this policy by engaging and supporting our staff, shareholders, suppliers, contractors, passengers, business partners and host communities in fulfilling our environmental, social, economic and ethical responsibilities.
And we do hope that you as our guests also appreciate above matters.

We Take Care of the Details - You ENJOY THE TRIP

Our goal is to take care of all of the hassles associated with travelling in another country, so that you are free to concentrate on your trip. Each tour program has been created from countless hours and miles of travel, along with extensive logistical research. Our tour fees cover in-tour transport, guide services, accommodations, meals as indicated, admission fees, government taxes, toll fees, parking fees and any other unpredicted fees. All you need to worry about is making sure you take the lens cap off for taking a picture of course!

We Know the GOOD SPOTS

We have allocated plenty of time at each major attraction to allow you to relax, immerse yourself in the landscape around you and capture contemplated images. With a private tour, we can visit and more fully explore places than would be feasible with a Join-in-Coach Tour. Most importantly, we understand that being in the right place at the right time is critical to capturing great photos, which is why travelling with a locally-based guide is so important.

Your Guides is a real INDONESIAN traveller

All of our guides are Indonesian and we are the real travellers one. We know every "Angkot" route, how to bargain with "Becak" driver, where to find the good quality "Batik", what's the meaning of the relief on Borobudur Temple and for sure how to service our invaluable friends "YOU".

These regional knowledge, friendly, courteous manner and organizational skills will make all the difference to your trip experience and enjoyment on tour. After travelling with us for a few days we are sure you won't want the tour to end!

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT

We love Indonesia and we are promoting responsible travel and ecotourism, supporting sustainable development, and helping and encouraging you to protect the cultures and environments we visit.

RECHARGING MIND AND BODY

Getting a good night's rest and eating properly is essential when you are on tour. Being a tourist, we know that the days can be long as it is necessary to be out in the field early and often finish after sunset to take advantage of the warm twilights. For your comfort we stay in accommodations that are selected for their quality, location and value, without being excessive. These are 3 - 4 star properties. We try to stay away from lodgings that are the domain of large tour groups as these can often be noisy and less-than-relaxing places to stay in. On rare occasions it is necessary to stay in more standard lodgings simply due to the lack of choice (Mount Bromo and Ijen Crater for example, where the only public accommodation is a backpackers style). Where possible, we schedule rest breaks during the middle of the day, and there is also a chance to relax while travelling between locations.

Indonesia''s cuisine has come of age and fresh, local produce combines with such mouth-watering specialties as "Sate Ayam" (chicken barbeque in a bamboo stick) and tempting "Soto Ayam" (Indonesian Style Chicken Soup), while vegetarians are also well catered for. Breakfasts are usually either cooked or continental, bakeries provide a good selection for lunches and dinners are enjoyed in a variety of settings from country pubs to informal a-la-carte restaurants. And, of course, no visit to Indonesia would be complete without a hearty portion of "Nasi Goreng" - our original fast food favourite, encouraged to be eaten with "Krupuk Udang" (Shirmp Crackers) and chili sauce (ketchup).

Our Commitment to You

From your first contact with us to saying goodbye at the tour's end our goal is to treat you the way we would like to be treated. You will quickly discover that you are much more than just a number and name badge - travelling as a private group means you will enjoy outstanding personal service. We keep in close contact with you prior to your arrival in Indonesia and will send out, via email, a summary of your tour along with pre-arrival information so that you are fully prepared for your visit here.

On tour you will experience our famous Indonesian hospitality, Indonesian smile and enjoy relaxing accommodations, good company and, of course, plenty of laughs!

We want you to feel at home with us so that you will take back to your home photographs, and memories, of a lifetime ...
