For our strategic partners at Smailing Tour DMC, the future of sustainable travel in Indonesia is about more than just discovering new destinations—it’s about preserving them for generations to come. As a result, they have launched a new sustainability movement: Roadmap Towards Net Zero.
This initiative represents a long-term commitment to redefining travel, ensuring every experience leaves a lighter footprint and a stronger positive impact. Through innovation, action, and collaboration, they are setting new standards in responsible tourism across Indonesia and beyond.
Why Net Zero Matters in Tourism
The breathtaking beauty of Indonesia, from its sacred temples and lush rice terraces to its pristine beaches and vibrant cultures, is what makes it one of the world’s most cherished destinations. But with this beauty comes responsibility. This natural and cultural wealth is the very reason why pioneering sustainable travel in Indonesia is not just an option, but a vital necessity. Tourism contributes significantly to global carbon emissions, with transportation and accommodation among the key contributors. Our strategic partners, Smailing Tour DMC, believe that the move towards Net Zero, where the carbon we emit is balanced with what we reduce or remove, is not just necessary, it is urgent.
Driving Change, One Xperience at a Time
- Electric Vehicle Fleet Expansion
As the first travel company in Bali to operate its own electric vehicle (EV) fleet, they are leading the shift towards cleaner transport. By April 2025, they will operate 6 BYD M6 EV units, reducing emissions by up to 57% per tour. It’s not just a ride, it’s a ride toward a cleaner future.
- New Eco Xperiences
Travelers can now explore Bali more sustainably with Eco Xperiences packages. These include EV transfers, stays at eco-resorts, eco-biking adventures, bamboo hideaways, and immersive activities that support local communities while connecting travelers to nature in meaningful ways.
- Greener Office Operations
Minimal paper use, practicing waste segregation, and reducing energy consumption across all office branches.

- Cut carbon emissions by 30% by the end of 2025
