Holiday Ayo - As one of the super priority tourist destinations, Labuan Bajo continues to strive to pamper both domestic and foreign tourists for a fun and memorable holiday experience.

New tourist facilities continue to emerge along with the increasing number of tourists visiting the destination nicknamed the city of a thousand sunsets. 

Most recently, in Labuan Bajo there is now an ultra luxury resort or world-class luxury resort that offers a premium tourism experience to travelers. It's called Ta'aktana Resort & Spa. 

The presence of Ta'aktana marks the presence of Marriott International's first luxury resort under the prestigious brand The Luxury Collection. 

Peter-Paul Kleiss, Director of Operations of Ta'aktana Resort & Spa, said that the presence of this resort also represents Indonesia's commitment to making Labuan Bajo a leading tourism destination that is able to compete globally, while still preserving its natural and rich cultural heritage. 

“More than just a luxury resort, Ta'aktana also functions as a bridge to introduce the natural beauty and local culture of Labuan Bajo and Indonesia to the world, as well as helping to improve the welfare of the local community by creating new economic opportunities and supporting sustainable development, in accordance with our three core pillars,” said Peter as quoted by tribunnews.com. 

Peter said there were three core pillars that were Ta'aktana's basic commitment, namely preserving cultural heritage (Heritage), humanity (Humanity), and environmental sustainability (Environmental Sustainability). 

From the Indonesian cuisine enjoyed to the stunning works of art in the various rooms, every aspect of Ta'aktana is expected to reflect a commitment to preserving and celebrating Indonesia's rich cultural heritage.

Ta'aktana also believes everyone deserves the opportunity to develop, and strives to empower people to make a meaningful impact in their communities and the world. 

At this limited event, relations and partners of the resort owners were invited to see and experience for themselves the experience at the luxury resort. 

They are invited to enjoy luxurious and exclusive accommodation and enjoy various art and dance performances, including Rangguk Alu and Caci which are reflections of local cultural rituals.

Peter said Ta'aktana was also designed to be environmentally friendly, where various aspects of the design and operation of this resort had been carefully thought out to minimize the impact on the environment.

“This includes using recycled fabric, creating a bottling plant to produce drinking water independently, and reducing plastic waste, as well as the rubbish cleanup initiative, Bersih Bajo," said Peter. 

With so much to offer, it is hoped that Ta'aktana Resort & Spa will not only be a destination of choice for VVIP guests from abroad. 

However, it can also be a benchmark for the tourism industry in Labuan Bajo which combines premium tourism experiences with commitment and responsibility to have a positive impact on the environment and society.
