Travel in Indonesia

Sustainability Is Our Guiding Principle

We are proud recipients of the Travelife Excellence in Sustainability certification, the highest international recognition for responsible travel in Indonesia.

What Is Travelife Certification?

Travelife is a three-stage certification program for tour operators and travel agents: (1) Travelife Engaged; (2) Travelife Partner; (3) Travelife Certified. We are the final stage -Travelife Certified. It audits travel companies against strict international standards in key areas:

  • Environmental responsibility — reducing energy use, waste, and CO₂ emissions
  • Fair labor & partnerships — ensuring ethical practices across our supply chain
  • Cultural preservation — promoting authentic, respectful cultural experiences
  • Community impact — creating positive benefits for local economies and societies

The Excellence in Sustainability is Travelife’s top recognition, reserved for companies demonstrating comprehensive, verified sustainability practices across all operations.

  • Training staff, guides, and drivers in responsible tourism practices.
  • Implementing supplier codes of conduct for hotels, transport and excursions.
  • Creating a Sustainability Checklist for all excursions.
  • Reducing energy and water consumption in our offices.
  • Promoting eco-friendly transport options.
  • Supporting community-based initiatives and local enterprises.
  • Working with suppliers through our Sustainable Purchasing Policy.


In addition, we continuously evaluate each destination in Indonesia based on sustainability and accessibility, guiding travelers toward more responsible and meaningful choices while supporting the growth of sustainable tourism across the archipelago.

Community Projects
& Partnerships

We believe that true sustainability is about more than our own operations. It’s about working hand-in-hand with local organizations and communities to create long-lasting positive impact. 

Over the years, we have built meaningful partnerships with initiatives that protect the environment, empower communities, and preserve traditions. By choosing to travel with us, you directly support these projects and become part of their story.

Sungai Watch:
Protecting Indonesia’s Rivers

Each year, millions of tons of plastic pollute Indonesia’s rivers and oceans, endangering marine life and local livelihoods. In Bali, the Sungai Watch community project is leading the charge in cleaning up these waterways.

 

Founded by local activists, they install river barriers, run clean-ups, and educate communities to fight plastic pollution. Their mission is to make every river in Indonesia plastic-free.

 

Our Commitment: For every traveler, Mimpi Nusantara Asia donates IDR 15,000 to support river clean-ups, waste barriers, and education efforts. By choosing us, you support plastic-free travel in Indonesia and help protect fragile ecosystems.

Munti Gunung:
From Poverty to Opportunity

Back in 2004, Munti Gunung in northeast Bali was one of the island’s poorest regions. Families had no access to clean water, healthcare, or a steady income. Many women and children were forced to beg in tourist areas to survive.

 

Everything began to change in 2006, when Future for Children, a Swiss NGO, and Yayasan Dian Desa launched the Munti Gunung Community Development Program.

 

The community began a new chapter, creating three social enterprises: food production, handicrafts, and community-based trekking tours. Today, child mortality has decreased, families have steady incomes, and women no longer need to beg.

 

Our Commitment: We support community-based tourism in Bali by including Munti Gunung treks in our itineraries, sourcing their handmade goods and sharing their story. Every purchase helps preserve culture and improve lives.

PKP Community:
Empowering Women-Headed Families

In many parts of Indonesia, women are the backbone of their families and communities. The PKP Community (Perempuan Kepala Keluarga – Women-Headed Families) supports women who are heads of households — often single mothers — by helping them build sustainable livelihoods.

 

Through training programs, small-scale enterprises, and community-based tourism projects, PKP provides women with financial independence, dignity, and the chance to pass opportunities on to the next generation.

 

Our Commitment: Mimpi Nusantara Asia collaborates with PKP by sourcing locally made products, offering travelers women-led community experiences, and promoting their initiatives as part of our sustainability mission. Each partnership helps empower women, reduce poverty, and create stronger, more resilient communities.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Every trip with Mimpi Nusantara Asia supports Sungai Watch, Munti Gunung and PKP Community to protect nature, empower families, and promote fair, sustainable tourism. Together, we ensure travel transforms not just the traveler, but also the places and people who make each journey unforgettable.
