Labuan Bajo, July 06, 2026 — Lingkotech, a digital agency based in Labuan Bajo, Flores, has officially been accepted to participate in the PUM Netherlands Business Development Mentoring Program, a global initiative that supports entrepreneurs and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) through expert knowledge sharing and business advisory services.

Founded in 1978 by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Confederation of Netherlands Industry and Employers (VNO-NCW), PUM Netherlands Senior Experts has collaborated with more than 40,000 businesses worldwide over the past 45 years. Through its network of approximately 1,200 experts, PUM helps entrepreneurs strengthen their businesses, improve sustainability, and create positive social and economic impact within their communities.

The mentoring program will be conducted remotely, allowing Lingkotech to collaborate directly with experienced Dutch business experts over an extended period. The program focuses on business development, strategic planning, organizational management, marketing, and innovation.

As a growing digital agency from Flores, Lingkotech sees this opportunity as an important milestone in strengthening its business foundation and expanding its impact across Eastern Indonesia.

Supporting Entrepreneurs Who Create Local Impact

PUM’s mission extends beyond individual business growth. The organization believes that sustainable economic development is achieved by strengthening entire business ecosystems, where businesses, communities, and supporting institutions collaborate to create social, economic, and environmental value.

According to Han Jenster, Manager Sector Value Chain Management at PUM Netherlands, supporting entrepreneurs with strong ambitions is central to PUM’s work around the world.

Mr. Jenster explained that PUM works with changemakers—entrepreneurs who not only seek business growth but also aim to create meaningful impact within their communities. By sharing practical expertise and international experience, PUM helps businesses improve their performance while contributing to stronger local economies and more resilient business ecosystems.

For regions such as Flores, where entrepreneurship, tourism, and digital transformation continue to evolve, access to global knowledge and mentoring can play an important role in accelerating sustainable development.

Strengthening Collaboration with Indonesian Entrepreneurs

PUM’s activities in Indonesia are coordinated through a network of experts and project officers who facilitate collaboration between Dutch specialists and local businesses.

Ingrid van Leeuwen, Project Officer Indonesia at PUM Netherlands, emphasized that Indonesia continues to demonstrate significant entrepreneurial potential across various sectors, including technology, tourism, and small business development.

She noted that PUM is committed to helping entrepreneurs strengthen their management capabilities, improve competitiveness, and develop sustainable business models. Through long-term mentoring relationships, entrepreneurs gain access to practical advice that can help them navigate challenges and identify new growth opportunities.

According to Ingrid, the success of the program is often measured not only by financial growth but also by the positive impact businesses create for their employees, customers, and communities.

Guidance from International Experts

In this mentoring program, Lingkotech will receive guidance from Tim Bett, a PUM expert with extensive experience in business development and organizational growth.

According to Tim Bett, sustainable business growth requires more than technical expertise.

“Many entrepreneurs have strong technical capabilities and innovative ideas. The challenge is often transforming those strengths into a scalable and sustainable business model. Through this mentoring process, we hope to help Lingkotech strengthen its strategic planning, business operations, and market positioning.”

He emphasized that continuous learning, adaptability, and customer-focused innovation are key ingredients for long-term success.

A Valuable Opportunity for Lingkotech

Engel Vione, Founder of Lingkotech, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to participate in the program and highlighted its importance for the future development of the company.

“I am truly grateful to PUM Netherlands for this opportunity. As a founder, this mentoring program is a chance to develop Lingkotech as a digital agency in Flores, and also as a personal learning journey. Learning directly from international experts will provide valuable perspectives on leadership, business strategy, marketing, and sustainable growth.”, said Engel.

He added that Lingkotech aims to leverage the experience gained from the program to support more businesses and communities across Eastern Indonesia.

 “Our vision is to build Lingkotech into a trusted digital agency that helps businesses, tourism organizations, and communities thrive through technology. Through this mentoring program, we hope to strengthen our capabilities, expand our impact in Flores and beyond.”

Looking Toward the Future

With support from PUM Netherlands, Lingkotech aims to strengthen its business structure, improve operational processes, expand its client network, and develop innovative digital solutions that support local businesses and tourism development.

The company also hopes to contribute to the broader digital transformation of Eastern Indonesia by helping organizations and communities leverage technology more effectively.

As Lingkotech embarks on this new chapter, the collaboration with PUM represents not only a business development opportunity but also a pathway toward creating greater social and economic impact through technology.

Labuan Bajo, June 5, 2026 — Lingkotech has once again been entrusted to support the digital development of Festival Golo Koe Labuan Bajo Maria Assumpta Nusantara 2026. This year, Lingkotech’s contribution goes beyond digital publication support by introducing a multilingual website feature, including an English-language version, to better serve the festival’s growing international audience.

This initiative reflects Lingkotech’s ongoing commitment to strengthening the digital presence of strategic events in Flores while helping promote the region’s culture, tourism, and spiritual heritage to a global audience.

Festival Golo Koe Labuan Bajo Maria Assumpta Nusantara 2026 was officially launched on June 4, 2026, at Sudamala Beach in Labuan Bajo, coinciding with the commemoration of World Environment Day. Carrying the theme “A Communal Pilgrimage in Synergistic Fellowship to Care for the Integrity of Creation” and the tagline “Walking Together, Restoring the Earth,” the festival continues to serve as a collaborative platform connecting the Church, government institutions, local communities, businesses, and development partners in fostering ecological awareness and strengthening Labuan Bajo’s identity as a sustainable destination.

As one of the largest cultural and religious festivals in Eastern Indonesia and a recognized member of Indonesia’s prestigious Kharisma Event Nusantara (KEN), Festival Golo Koe has increasingly attracted attention not only from domestic audiences but also from international visitors.

According to Engel Vione, Founder of Lingkotech, the decision to develop an English-language version of the festival website was driven by actual visitor data collected through Google Analytics.

“Based on website traffic data from previous years, we identified visitors from various countries, including the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, Poland, Belgium, and China. These insights clearly indicate that Festival Golo Koe is beginning to attract international interest. Therefore, we believe it is essential to provide a more inclusive digital experience through multilingual accessibility,” said Engel.

He explained that in today’s digital landscape, a website serves as far more than an information platform—it acts as a gateway through which people discover destinations, cultures, and events.

“When someone outside Indonesia searches online for information about Festival Golo Koe, Labuan Bajo, or Manggarai culture, the website often becomes their first point of contact. The information presented must therefore be accessible and understandable to global audiences while preserving the local identity and cultural values that make this festival unique,” he added.

In addition to introducing English-language content, Lingkotech continues to support the festival’s digital communications strategy, ensuring that information about the Maria Assumpta Nusantara pilgrimage, cultural performances, ecological programs, religious celebrations, and festival activities can be accessed more effectively by broader audiences.

For Lingkotech, participation in Festival Golo Koe represents something much greater than a technology project.

“Festival Golo Koe is a celebration of collaboration, culture, faith, and the spirit of the people of Flores. We are proud to have been part of this journey and to contribute to its digital growth. Through technology, we hope to help ensure that the stories, values, and aspirations embodied by this festival can reach audiences across Indonesia and around the world,” said Engel.

He further emphasized that digital transformation has become a critical factor in enhancing the competitiveness of regional events on both national and international stages.

“Great events deserve stories that can be discovered by the world. Technology makes that possible. Our commitment is to continue helping strategic events across Flores build professional digital platforms that are accessible, impactful, and globally connected without losing their local cultural roots.”

Looking ahead, Lingkotech remains committed to supporting technological innovation, digital communications, and online engagement for cultural, tourism, social, and religious initiatives throughout Flores.

Through long-term collaboration and innovation, Lingkotech hopes that Festival Golo Koe will continue to grow—not only as one of Indonesia’s premier festivals but also as an internationally recognized cultural and religious event.

“We believe Flores has many extraordinary stories that deserve global recognition. Our mission is to build the digital bridges that connect those stories with the world.”

Labuan Bajo, May 17, 2026 — Gereja Santa Theresia dari Kanak-kanak Yesus Merombok officially launched its parish website and social media platforms on Sunday (17/5/2026) in conjunction with the celebration of the 60th World Communications Day. The launch marks an important step in strengthening the Church’s digital pastoral services within the Diocese of Labuan Bajo.

The launching ceremony was led directly by Parish Priest Rev. Fr. Antonius Sanor together with Parish Pastoral Council Chairman Willy Cungkuru through a symbolic LED screen activation and countdown moment, warmly welcomed by parishioners following the Sunday Eucharistic celebration.

The official parish website is now accessible at gerejakatolikmerombok.org.

In his remarks, Rev. Fr. Antonius Sanor emphasized that the presence of the Church’s digital media platforms reflects the Church’s commitment to responding to the signs of the times and to the message of World Communications Day delivered by Pope Leo XIV.

“Through digital media, we are called to present the compassionate face of Christ and bring hope to all people. Therefore, let us continue supporting the Church’s communication ministry so that digital media may truly become a means of evangelization and fraternity,” said Rev. Fr. Antonius Sanor.

He also encouraged parishioners to actively utilize the parish’s official website and social media platforms as channels for accessing Church information and supporting more open and accessible pastoral services.

“Through this website and social media, parishioners can follow parish activities, regional communities, and small Christian community events. In the future, parishioners will also be able to access administrative services and sacramental registrations online,” he added.

The development of the parish website was carried out through collaboration between the Parish Communications Commission (Komsos) team and Lingkotech as the digital platform developer.

Founder of Lingkotech, Engel Vione, stated that the website project was not merely about building a technology platform, but also about supporting the Church’s pastoral transformation in the digital era.

“We believe technology can become a tool of service that strengthens communication, connection, and pastoral outreach among the faithful. The launch of this official parish website demonstrates that the Church is capable of adapting to digital developments while preserving its pastoral and human values,” he said.

According to him, the launch of the website during World Communications Day carries significant meaning as it reflects the Church’s commitment to using technology positively and responsibly.

The website of Gereja Santa Theresia dari Kanak-kanak Yesus Merombok (Saint Theresia of the Child Jesus Parish Merombok) was designed as an interactive and informative digital pastoral platform. In addition to providing parish activity information, the website also offers various online pastoral service features, including:

• the sacrament of baptism registrations
• the sacrament of first communion registration
• the sacrament of confirmation registration
• the sacrament of marriage registration
• Marriage Preparation Course (KPP) registration
• daily and weekly reflections
• parish announcements
• Church event publications

The platform was also developed with a mobile-friendly interface to ensure easy access through smartphones and other digital devices.

As a technology and creative company based in Flores, Lingkotech believes that digital transformation is not only important for businesses and tourism sectors, but also for social and religious institutions.

“We hope this digital platform can help the Church become even closer to the faithful, especially younger generations who live amid rapid technological and social media developments. The digitalization of the Church is not intended to replace direct pastoral encounters, but to expand the reach of communication and pastoral services,” explained Engel.

Going forward, the parish’s website and official social media platforms will continue to be developed according to the needs of the faithful and the future direction of digital-based Church ministry.

In today’s digital era, having a website alone is no longer enough. A website must be discoverable, accessible, fast, and relevant to what people are searching for online. This is where SEO becomes one of the most important digital strategies for businesses.

We often meet business owners who already have beautiful websites but still struggle to get visitors, inquiries, or bookings. The reason is simple: their websites are not optimized for search engines.

Whether you run a travel agency, hotel, restaurant, dive operator, local business, startup, NGO, or government tourism project, SEO can help your website appear in front of the right audience.

This article will help you understand:

• What SEO is
• The benefits and purpose of SEO
• Types of SEO
• How SEO works
• How to optimize SEO on your website
• Examples of SEO implementation
• Common SEO mistakes to avoid
• SEO tips for beginners to get indexed quickly by Google

What is SEO?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the technique of optimizing a website to make it easily found in search engines (like Google) and to appear at the top of search results for specific keywords. The primary goal is to generate relevant, organic (free) traffic and increase brand visibility.

In other words, SEO is the process of optimizing a website so that it appears higher in search engine results such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo when users search for certain keywords.

Keyword example:

• “best Komodo tour operator”
• “hotel in Labuan Bajo”
• “Flores website service”
• “Labuan Bajo website service”

If your website appears on the first page of Google, you have a much higher chance of getting visitors, customers, and conversions.

SEO combines:

• Content optimization
• Technical website performance
• Keyword strategy
• User experience
• Backlink building
• Website authority

SEO is not instant marketing. It is a long-term digital investment that continuously brings organic traffic to your website.

Benefits and Purpose of SEO

1. Increase Website Visibility

One of the biggest benefits of SEO is that it helps your website be more easily found by potential customers on search engines like Google.

Today, most people search for information, products, and services online before making a decision. They type specific keywords into Google to find solutions that meet their needs.

The Examples:

• Tourists search for “best Komodo tour operator”
• Business people looking for “website developer Flores”
• Tourists search for “hotels in Labuan Bajo”
• MSMEs are looking for “Labuan Bajo website service”

2. Generate Organic Traffic

SEO helps bring visitors without paying for advertisements continuously.

Unlike paid ads that stop when the budget ends, SEO can continue driving traffic for months or even years.

3. Build Business Credibility

People trust websites that appear on the first page of Google.

Good SEO creates stronger brand credibility and professionalism.

4. Increase Leads and Sales

More targeted visitors mean more opportunities for:

• Tour bookings
• Hotel reservations
• Product sales
• Contact inquiries
• Partnership opportunities

Types of SEO

SEO can generally be divided into three main categories:

1. On-Page SEO
2. Off-Page SEO
3. Technical SEO

1. On-Page SEO

On-Page SEO is the practice of optimizing the content and structure within your website pages to make them easier for search engines (like Google) to understand and provide a good experience for visitors.

This includes:

• Content optimization
• Keyword usage
• Meta titles
• Meta descriptions
• Heading structure
• Internal linking
• Image optimization
• URL structure

Example of On-Page SEO

Instead of using a generic page title like:

“Home”

Use:

“Professional Labuan Bajo Website Service | Lingkotech”

Instead of:

“IMG123.jpg”

Use:

“flores-website-service-design.jpg”

Important Elements of On-Page SEO

Keyword Placement

Place keywords naturally in:

• Title
• Headings
• First paragraph
• URL
• Meta description
• Image alt text

Example targeted keywords:

• Labuan Bajo Website Service
• Flores Website Service
• Web Design Labuan Bajo
• Website Developer Flores

Content Quality

Google prioritizes:

• Helpful content
• Original content
• Relevant information
• Comprehensive explanations

Avoid thin or duplicate content.

Heading Structure

Use proper heading hierarchy:

• H1 for main title
• H2 for major sections
• H3 for subsections

This helps search engines understand your content.

Internal Linking

Connect related pages within your website.

Example:

• Service page → Portfolio page
• Blog article → Contact page
• About page → Services page

Internal linking improves navigation and SEO authority.

2. Off-Page SEO

Off-page SEO refers to all actions taken outside of a website to improve search engine rankings, credibility, and authority. Its primary focus is building quality backlinks, brand reputation, and external signals. This differs from on-page SEO, which focuses on internal content, while off-page SEO builds external trust.

Backlinks

Backlinks are links from other websites pointing to your website.

Google considers backlinks as “votes of trust.”

High-quality backlinks improve domain authority.

Examples of Off-Page SEO

• Guest blogging
• Business directory listings
• Media coverage
• Social media sharing
• Tourism partnership websites
• Google Business Profile

3. Technical SEO

Technical SEO focuses on website performance and structure.

It ensures search engines can crawl and index your website properly.

Important Technical SEO Factors

Website Speed

Fast websites rank better.

Optimize:

• Image sizes
• Caching
• Hosting quality
• Code efficiency

Mobile Responsiveness

Most users browse using smartphones.

Your website must work perfectly on mobile devices.

XML Sitemap

Structured Data

• Reviews

How SEO Works

SEO works through search engine crawling, indexing, and ranking.

Step 1: Crawling

Step 2: Indexing

Google stores website information in its database.

Step 3: Ranking

Google evaluates websites based on:

A beginner-friendly guide for businesses, brands, startups, and SMEs entering the digital world

In today’s digital era, having a website is no longer optional—it’s essential. Whether you run a hotel, travel agency, restaurant, local business, startup, or tourism brand, a website helps build credibility and makes your business easier to discover online.

However, many business owners often feel confused when they hear technical terms such as domain, hosting, DNS, SSL, bandwidth, RAM, cPanel, and many others.

The good news? You don’t need to become a programmer to understand these terms.

In this article, Lingkotech will break down the most common website development terms in a simple and casual way so you can better understand how websites actually work.

And if you’re currently looking for website development services in Labuan Bajo or website development services in Flores, this guide will help you make smarter decisions before starting your project.

Domain

A domain is a unique address used to access a website on the internet, replacing complex strings of numbers or IP addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1) to make them easier to remember. A domain consists of a site name and an extension (such as .com, .id, .org) and serves as a website’s unique identity.

Examples:

• google.com
• lingkotech.com
• amazon.com

Think of a domain as your digital address.

If your website were a house, the domain would be the address people use to find it online.

Tips for choosing a domain:

• Keep it short
• Make it easy to remember
• Match your brand name

Hosting

Hosting, or web hosting, is a service that rents space for storing data or files on a computer server connected to the internet 24/7. Its purpose is to ensure that your website can be accessed online by anyone, anytime, and from anywhere. Without hosting, a website cannot be accessed.

These files include:

• Images
• Videos
• Website code
• Blog articles
• Databases

If the domain is your address, hosting is the actual land and building where your website lives.

Types of hosting:

• Shared Hosting
• VPS Hosting
• Cloud Hosting
• Dedicated Server

For most SMEs and tourism businesses in Labuan Bajo and Flores (Lingkotech, shared hosting or cloud hosting is usually enough.

DNS (Domain Name System)

DNS (Domain Name System) is a system that translates human-readable domain names (e.g., google.com) into numerical IP addresses (e.g., 192.0.2.1) that computers can understand. Often referred to as the “Internet phone book,” DNS eliminates the need to remember IP addresses, enabling fast and efficient access to websites.

When someone types:

lingkotech.com

DNS helps browsers locate the server where your website is stored.

Think of DNS as the internet’s phonebook.

SSL (Secure Socket Layer)

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is an encrypted security layer designed to secure data transactions between web browsers and servers. SSL ensures that the information exchanged remains secure and cannot be accessed by unauthorized parties.

SSL works by securing communication through digital certificates that serve as a digital identity for websites. When SSL is enabled on a website, sensitive data such as passwords, credit card information, or other personal information is protected from potential eavesdropping or tampering.

When a website has SSL:

• The URL uses HTTPS
• A padlock icon appears in the browser

Email Hosting

Email hosting is a specialized server service for managing, sending, and receiving emails using a custom domain name (e.g., nama@perusahaan.com). While it functions similarly to free email services like Gmail and Yahoo, the advantage of having a professional company email address is that it can enhance your company’s credibility and branding. Key factors to consider when choosing an email hosting service include security and storage capacity.

Example of custom business email such as:

info@lingkotech.com

This looks far more professional than using a free Gmail account for business communication.

Nameserver

Nameserver (NS) is a server component in the DNS (Domain Name System) that acts as the internet’s “phone book,” translating domain names (such as google.com) into IP addresses (192.168.1.1) that computers can understand. NS directs data traffic from a user’s browser to the hosting server where the website is stored so it can be accessed.

Examples:

• ns1.hostinger.com
• ns2.hostinger.com

This is commonly configured when your domain and hosting are purchased from different providers.

CMS (Content Management System)

Content Management System (CMS) is software that allows users to easily create, manage, edit, and publish digital content on a website without the need for in-depth programming or coding skills. A CMS provides an intuitive interface for managing text, images, videos, and website themes.

Popular CMS platforms:

• WordPress
• Joomla
• Drupal
• Shopify
• Magento

DBMS (Database Management System)

A Database Management System (DBMS) is software that serves as an intermediary for creating, managing, manipulating, and controlling databases in a structured, secure, and efficient manner. A DBMS allows users to retrieve, modify, or delete data using a query language (such as SQL) without needing to know the physical location where the data is stored. In web development, commonly used DBMSs include MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB.

Uptime & Downtime

Uptime refers to the period during which a website is active and accessible to users, typically measured as a percentage, while downtime refers to the period during which a website is down, experiencing errors, or inaccessible. High uptime (e.g., 99.9%) indicates that the server performs well, whereas downtime can have a negative impact on a business’s reputation and operations.

Web Server

Web server is server software designed to handle user requests by receiving, processing, and displaying data through a browser in response to requests sent to the server. This process makes the web server the central hub for all web-based requests and other applications. Popular web servers include Apache and Nginx.

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)

SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. As the name suggests, SMTP is a protocol used to send emails from one server to another over the internet. SMTP operates at the application layer of the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model and is responsible for managing how emails are sent from the sender to the recipient.

It helps websites send emails such as:

• Contact form notifications
• Order confirmations
• Newsletter emails

Disk Space

Disk space on a hosting plan refers to the total data storage capacity provided by the hosting service provider to store all website files, databases, emails, and other content on the server. It determines how much information you can store before you need to increase your storage capacity or delete files, and is typically measured in megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB).

CPU Core

CPU cores in hosting are the core processing units within a server that act as the “brain” for executing commands, processing data, and running website applications. The more cores there are, the better the hosting server’s ability to handle multiple requests (traffic) simultaneously.

RAM Memory

RAM (Random Access Memory) in web hosting is a hardware component or virtual resource that serves as temporary data storage to process website requests quickly. RAM ensures that websites load quickly, handle a large number of visitors simultaneously, and maintain server stability to prevent crashes.

Bandwidth

In the context of web hosting, bandwidth refers to the total volume of data that can be transferred between a website and its visitors over a specific period (usually monthly). It measures the capacity for incoming and outgoing data traffic; the higher the bandwidth, the more data that can be transferred without causing the site to slow down or become inaccessible.

cPanel

A hosting control panel is a web-based (graphical) interface provided by hosting providers to simplify server and website management in an intuitive way, without requiring advanced technical expertise. It serves as a control center for managing domains, email, databases, and application installations (such as WordPress).

Website Backup

Website backup is the process of creating copies of a website’s important data (files, databases, images, configurations) and storing them in a separate location. It is a vital preventive measure for restoring a website in the event of server failure, hacking, or human error. Backups can be performed manually or automatically.

CDN (Content Delivery Network)

A CDN (Content Delivery Network) is a geographically distributed network of servers designed to deliver web content (such as images, videos, CSS, and JavaScript) more quickly to users. By storing copies of content on nearby servers (edge servers), a CDN reduces latency (wait time) and the load on the main server. Examples of popular CDN service providers include Cloudflare, Akamai, and AWS.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the practice of optimizing a website to improve its visibility and ranking in the organic (unpaid) search results of search engines like Google. The goal is to drive high-quality traffic to the site, increase brand awareness, and expand its user reach.

Responsive Design

Responsive design is a web design and development approach that allows a website’s layout to automatically adapt to the user’s screen size and device. This technique ensures that elements such as text, images, and the user interface remain organized, easy to read, and function optimally across various devices—from desktops and tablets to smartphones—without the need to zoom in or out.

Final Thoughts

Building a website is not just about having a beautiful design—it’s also about understanding the technical foundation behind it.

By learning these website development terms, you’ll be better prepared to make smart decisions for your business.

And if you’re currently looking for website development services in Labuan Bajo or website development services in Flores, Lingkotech is ready to help you build a professional, modern, and SEO-friendly website tailored to your business goals.

Labuan Bajo digital agency, Lingkotech, had the opportunity to participate in a strategic discussion on Strengthening the Creative Economy Ecosystem with the Minister of Creative Economy/Head of the Creative Economy Agency, Teuku Riefky Harsya, on Friday (November 14, 2025) at Puncak Waringin, Labuan Bajo.

The meeting was attended by 10 creative economy players and MSMEs from West Manggarai operating in the crafts, culinary, fashion, and photography sub-sectors. The event was facilitated by the Labuan Bajo Flores Tourism Authority (LBFTA) and the West Manggarai Regional Government, demonstrating their commitment to strengthening networks and growing the creative economy in this super-priority tourism destination.

In this forum, creative economy players were given the opportunity to introduce their businesses and share challenges and ideas relevant to the development of the regional creative economy ecosystem.

Lingkotech Founder, Engel Vione, expressed his appreciation for the government’s support for this productive dialogue space.

“Lingkotech is here as a digital solution for MSMEs and tourism players during the pandemic, focusing on website creation services in Labuan Bajo and developing digital platforms to strengthen the marketing of local products. The ‘Lingko’ philosophy reflects the collaborative culture of the Manggarai people, which we translate into technology,” said Engel.

Over the past three years, Lingkotech has developed dozens of websites for partners in various sectors, including the official website for the Golo Koe Festival, which made it into the top 10 of Karisma Event Nusantara, and the Wae Lolos tourism platform, which helped the village win the award for Best Tourism Village under Bank Indonesia’s Guidance in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT).

Engel added that the digital industry demands continuous adaptation to technological developments such as Artificial Intelligence. In closing, Engel also expressed his hopes for the development of the creative industry in Eastern Indonesia.

“We hope that the central and regional governments will continue to support the growth of the creative economy ecosystem, so that talent and innovation from the far reaches of Eastern Indonesia can also have a significant impact on the national economy,” Engel emphasized.

Responding to the presentations by creative economy players, Minister Teuku Riefky Harsya stated that strengthening the creative economy ecosystem is a national priority.

“Learning from the COVID-19 pandemic, we realize that tourism is a crucial economic engine. However, the creative economy is equally important. When certain situations occur that cause the tourism sector to decline, the creative economy must be able to become the next backbone,” said the Minister.

He also emphasized the importance of listening to the aspirations of creative economy players in the regions to support equitable growth in the creative subsector.

“The growth of the creative subsector is very rapid. To ensure greater equity, we need to ensure that creative economy players in regions like Labuan Bajo also have access to support and opportunities,” he added.

Through this meeting, Lingkotech further strengthened its commitment to becoming a digital transformation partner for MSMEs, creative economy actors, and tourism actors through Labuan Bajo Digital Agency services such as Website development, Search Engine Optimization services, and digital marketing assistance.

Every October 28th, we commemorate Youth Pledge Day — a historic moment that unites the spirit of Indonesian youth from various regions, languages, and cultures. However, in today’s digital age, the meaning of Youth Pledge is no longer simply about uniting as one nation, but rather about how we unite our spirit and concrete actions to bring Indonesia forward.

In the past, youth united through words and determination. Now, youth unite through work and collaboration. We live in an age where the internet has become a new space to struggle, create, and contribute. Through technology, creativity, and a spirit of collaboration across sectors — academia, government, and industry — the younger generation can create more tangible change.

As a player in the digital field, Lingkotech believes that today’s nationalism is not only about loving the homeland, but also about bringing Indonesia’s identity to the world stage. Whether through digital innovation, sustainable tourism development, or local economic empowerment — all can be tangible forms of love for Indonesia.

The spirit of today’s Youth Pledge also means adapting and collaborating.
We no longer stand alone within the narrow confines of our professions, but complement each other across fields.
Youth in the technology world can collaborate with tourism activists, artists can collaborate with MSMEs, and all work together for a creative and empowered Indonesia.

Today’s Youth Pledge is no longer just a promise, but a commitment to action.
Dare to dream big, dare to take small steps, and consistently bring about change through the simple things we can do.

Because, truly, the spirit of youth isn’t just a thing of 1928.
It lives in every innovation, every collaboration, and every small step toward a better Indonesia.

Labuan Bajo, October 21, 2025 — On Tuesday (October 21), Lingkotech Founder Engel Vione participated in a discussion titled “Integrated Tourism Loyalty Management System with Cross-Sector Collaboration and Gamification,” initiated by Pelita Harapan University (UPH) and held at the Labuan Bajo Flores Tourism Authority (LBFTA).

This activity brought together various parties from government, academia, and the tourism industry, such as the Bajo Talk Podcast, the Indonesian Tour Guide Association (HPI), ASITA West Manggarai, and representatives from BPOLBF itself.

Triple Helix Collaboration for Sustainable Tourism

In her presentation, Prof. Dr. Diena Mutiara Lemy, A.PAR., M.M., CHE, Dean of the UPH Faculty of Tourism, explained that this research aims to develop an adaptive gamification-based tourism loyalty management system. Through a triple helix approach, this collaboration involves three main pillars: academia, government, and industry.

“Gamification is an engaging way to increase tourist engagement. With elements like points, challenges, and rewards, tourists can more actively interact with the destination, support local MSMEs, and contribute to environmental protection,” said Prof. Diena.

Support from LBFTA: Building a Data-Driven and Innovation-Based Ecosystem

Meanwhile, Acting. BPOLBF President Director, Dwi Marhen Yono, expressed his support for this initiative. He believes Labuan Bajo has great potential as a living laboratory for the development of an inclusive and sustainable digital tourism system.

“LBFTA encourages cross-sector collaboration to build a data- and innovation-driven tourism ecosystem. Through this approach, we can create more meaningful tourism experiences for all parties,” explained Marhen.

Loyalty Built from Positive Experiences and Impressions

As a creative industry player and founder of Lingkotech, a digital company specializing in website development services in Labuan Bajo, Engel Vione shared insights from the technology industry and his experience collaborating with tourism stakeholders.

“Tourist loyalty isn’t built solely through promotions, but through the positive experiences they have,” Engel explained.
“When tourists feel happy, appreciated, and able to interact with local culture, they will return.”

Engel also proposed a points and rewards program that could be implemented in a tourism loyalty system. For example, tourists can earn points when purchasing souvenirs from MSME partners, attending cultural events, or participating in local activities. These points can be exchanged for discounts, unique souvenirs, or exclusive experiences like cultural tours.

This concept not only strengthens the relationship between tourists and the destination but also encourages the participation of local communities—from artisans and tour guides to Komodo travel operators and MSMEs.

Labuan Bajo: An Experimental Space for Digital Innovation

This discussion emphasized that Labuan Bajo is not only a world-class tourist destination but also an experimental space for digital innovation in the tourism sector.

Through a gamification approach, cross-sector collaboration, and the use of local technology, such as that developed by Lingkotech, the future of Flores tourism can be built in a more participatory, adaptive, and sustainable manner.

When Lingkotech was entrusted to support the 2025 Golo Koe Festival, I knew this wasn’t just a simple website development project—it was about shaping the digital identity of one of Labuan Bajo’s most iconic cultural festivals. As the founder of Lingkotech, I’ve always believed that technology should be more than just tools; it should tell a story. Yes, about how to narrate the Golo Koe Festival (storytelling), through the portal festivalgolokoe.com.

More Than Just a Website

The Golo Koe Festival is no ordinary event. It’s a celebration that blends faith, culture, and the creative economy. People don’t just attend—it becomes part of their memories of Labuan Bajo. So, this website must do more than simply provide information. The copywriting must be inviting and, hopefully, inspiring.

The challenges in building this digital portal included:

• Providing detailed event information and a blog feature to provide updates on the Golo Koe Festival.
• Serving as a central hub for announcements and a schedule (timeline of activities).
• Being a promotional platform—featuring performers, rituals, the local creative economy, and of course, the beauty of Labuan Bajo.
• Feeling festive, yet easy to navigate for all visitors, from the local community to international visitors.

The Development Journey

What should be the first impression when someone lands on the homepage? We decided on a bold visual identity: colors inspired by the Virgin Mary, simple yet elegant at the same time.

Then came the content architecture. Visitors needed quick access to the schedule and all the latest news. We ensure festivalgolokoe.com feels alive, not static.

A Purposeful Portal

For me, this project is more than just development work—it’s a collaboration between culture and code, between tradition and technology. And I hope every click on festivalgolokoe.com is the beginning of someone’s journey to experience the magic of the Golo Koe Festival.

Because at Lingkotech, that’s what we do best: turning stories into digital experiences

There are certain moments that remind me of why I founded Lingkotech in the first place—and the launch of Wisatawaelolos.com is definitely one of them.

It’s about how technology and culture can synergize in Wae Lolos Village, West Manggarai. Together with the Cunca Plias Tourism Group (Pokdarwis) and the research team from the eLBajo Commodus Polytechnic, we officially launched the official website for Wae Lolos Tourism Village.

This isn’t just a “regular website.” It’s a digital gateway that opens the way for tourists from around the world to discover why Wae Lolos is nicknamed the Village of a Thousand Waterfalls.

The Story Behind the Website

This launch is part of the BERDIKARI EKOSMIRA (Strengthening the Partnership Ecosystem for the Development of Regional Potential-Based Innovation) program organized by the Directorate General of Science and Technology, Ministry of Science, Technology, and Higher Education (Kemendiktisaintek) through the Education Fund Management Institute (LPDP). The theme was “Smart Traditional Tourism Village Innovation to Increase the Competitiveness of Tourist Villages” — and Wae Lolos served as a case study.

Lingkotech and the research team not only developed the website but also compiled a business plan and business model canvas for the Wae Lolos Tourism Village Tourism Group (Pokdarwis). So, the village now has a blueprint for developing tourism digitally and sustainably.

Why This Matters

As Roseven Rudiyanto, Head of the Research Team, said, “Wae Lolos Village has huge tourism market potential.” I couldn’t agree more. The waterfalls, the culture, the friendliness of the people — all of these are authentic experiences that many tourists seek.

And now, with wisatawaelolos.com, all of that uniqueness is just a click away.

Robert Perkasa, Head of the Cunca Plias Tourism Group (Pokdarwis), even said:

“We have used this website for promotions, including at the Bali & Beyond Travel Fair (BBTF) 2025. The impact is already being felt in the increase in tourist visits.”

That’s the power of digital: it can reach a wider audience, tell a better story, and invite people to come and experience it firsthand.

Community Pride

Village Head, Gervinus Toni, also expressed his gratitude. According to him, this collaboration is an important step in advancing Wae Lolos.

For me personally, hearing appreciation like this makes the entire process—from coding to late-night debugging—feel incredibly worthwhile. Because from the start, Lingkotech wasn’t just about building a website. It was about building a bridge between the local community and global tourists.

What are the features of wisatawaelolos.com?

We designed a simple website with essential menus:

• What to Do — tourist activities that visitors can engage in.
• What to See — attractions and panoramas that can be enjoyed.
• What to Buy — typical Wae Lolos souvenirs to take home. This website is designed to grow with the village — professional, scalable, and sustainable.

Closing Notes

As the founder, I am proud that Lingkotech can contribute to the development of the Wae Lolos website. This website isn’t the final destination, but the first step toward a bigger dream: professional tourism management, improving the local economy, and ensuring a sustainable future for future generations.

If you haven’t already, check out wisatawaelolos.com. And if you’re planning a trip to Flores, don’t forget to add Wae Lolos to your itinerary.
