Mungkin benar, ada hikmah di balik setiap bencana. Labilnya harga minyak dunia telah memukul perekonomian banyak negara produsen minyak hingga mereka pun terdorong untuk menggali sumber-sumber kas alternatif. Salah satu jawabannya ialah mendirikan kota-kota baru yang mentereng. Agenda utamanya tentu saja menggoda investor untuk datang dan membuka bisnis.

Majalah di tangan Anda adalah edisi cetak terakhir DestinAsian Indonesia. Setelah melewati dua Piala Dunia dan dua Pemilu Presiden, menerbitkan 39 edisi dan meraih empat penghargaan artikel terbaik dari Kementerian Pariwisata, majalah yang diluncurkan perdana pada Maret 2013 ini dengan berat hati kami hentikan penerbitannya. 
Tapi DestinAsian Indonesia tidak sepenuhnya berakhir. Edisi digitalnya akan tetap melayani Anda. Melalui website, media sosial, dan newsletter, kami akan terus menyajikan berita dan artikel perjalanan, juga terus menginspirasi pembaca untuk mengeksplorasi sudut-sudut bumi.

Bila disajikan hanya sebagai deretan nama dan tahun, sejarah bisa sangat menjemukan—kecuali jika Anda bisa merasakannya. Itulah mungkin sebabnya musik retro, busana vintage, dan desain klasik selalu menemukan momen untuk kembali trendi. Edisi ini menghidangkan wisata sejarah dalam kerangka serupa. 

Dalam rubrik Special Report, kami mengunjungi dan mengulas 10 hotel dengan riwayat terpanjang di Asia: liga senior yang pernah menampung para petualang di babak-babak awal eksplorasi. Usai melewati banyak dekade, juga menghadapi perang dan krisis, hotel-hotel ini berhasil bertahan, bahkan kian menawan di usia tua. 

Kondisi berbeda terlihat di Seattle, di mana masa lalu seakan terputus sepenuhnya dari masa kini. Sempat melegenda sebagai poros musik global, kota ini bertransformasi menjadi kutub teknologi. Nias, di sisi lain, berupaya menjaga warisan sejarahnya tetap hidup, kendati zaman tak lagi berpihak. Di pulau ini, kebudayaan batu seperti berjuang mencari tempat di dunia yang berangsur menganut kebudayaan digital.

Sejak edisi  debutnya, Maret 2013, DestinAsian Indonesia didesain tak sekadar untuk menginspirasi publik dalam menentukan tujuan liburan. Media ini juga bertekad memperkaya pemahaman pembaca tentang beragam tempat, termasuk isu-isu penting yang terjadi di sana misi yang berusaha kami wujudkan melalui reportase lapangan dan riset yang mendalam, oleh penulis dan fotografer yang berpengalaman. Kami menyebut pendekatan ini traveljournalism.

Dengan bekal itulah kami mengulas, misalnya, desa-desa yang hilang di Italia, kehidupan di Iran selepas embargo, tradisi sepak bola di Basque, hingga dampak pemanasan global di belahan utara bumi. Memakai travel journalism pula, kami menampilkan kisah tentang komoditisasi seni di Yogyakarta, gesekan antara adat dan agama di Toraja, kehidupan pemburu di Kobror, hingga seperti yang tersaji di edisi ini—inisiatif hotel-hotel di Bali untuk mengurangi sampah. 

Ketika saya menulis catatan pengantar ini, ada sekitar 100 juta foto dengan tagar vacation di Instagram. Saya juga salah seorang yang menuliskannya. Memotret saat berlibur, lalu membagi fotonya lewat media sosial, memang telah menjadi hobi global, dan dengan itu pula travel photographer seakan menjadi profesi massal. Edisi ini berangkat dari fenomena itu, dari gairah kita berwisata dan memotret. Di rubrik Special Report, pembaca bisa menemukan beragam inspirasi seputar travel photography, termasuk tentang bisnis foto liburan, rekomendasi buku foto, hingga wawancara dengan sejumlah fotografer. Semuanya berangkat dari pertanyaan sederhana: apa yang dibutuhkan untuk menjadi travel photographer yang baik?

Mereka yang rutin bepergian tentu sepakat pariwisata bukanlah industri yang steril dari ekses negatif. Avtur dari pesawat yang kita tumpangi, air yang dihabiskan di bathtub kamar hotel kita, atau makanan yang tersisa dari sarapan kita, semua itu punya konsekuensi terhadap ekologi bumi.  Demi merespons kondisi itulah Uni Eropa mencetuskan Smart Tourism Capital, sebuah penghargaan yang diberikan kepada kota-kota yang dinilai sukses merespons tantangan mutakhir pariwisata, termasuk problem lingkungan. Di tahun pertamanya, gelar itu diberikan kepada Helsinki, dan kami mengunjunginya untuk menggali apa sebabnya dan pelajaran apa yang bisa kita petik darinya.

Selalu menyenangkan memasuki tahun baru. Itu termasuk membuka kalender baru, menuliskan target destinasi baru, menyambut pembukaan-pembukaan baru. Dan seperti biasa, edisi awal tahun ini menyisipkan panduan bagi Anda untuk menyongsong beragam hal yang memengaruhi ke mana dan bagaimana kita berwisata di tahun yang baru ini. Ada banyak peristiwa menarik yang layak dinanti di 2019.  Jalan raya India-Myanmar-Thailand akan dibuka, sedangkan bukit keramat Uluru di Australia ditutup bagi pendakian. Di Eropa, Helsinki dan Lyon akan menjalankan predikat baru sebagai Smart Tourism Capitals, sementara lukisan The Night Watch karya Rembrandt mulai direstorasi dan kita bisa menonton prosesnya!

Tidak mudah menentukan destinasi kuliner terbaik. Penyebabnya bukan hanya karena pengalaman kuliner kita akan suatu tempat umumnya tak lengkap, tapi juga karena selera memang punya subjektivitas yang sulit dikompromikan. Bagaimanapun, kami mencoba melakukan tugas yang terkesan mustahil itu. Melalui kompilasi dan tabulasi atas data ribuan restoran dari Michelin Guides dan World’s Best Restaurants, ditambah 100 bar versi World’s Best Bars, edisi ini memetakan daftar destinasi dengan tawaran makan dan minum terbaik di dunia. Sekarang Anda bisa berdebat berdasarkan data, bukan hanya selera.

Selalu menyenangkan menemukan destinasi baru. Tempat-tempat semacam ini senantiasa menghadirkan kejutan dan pengalaman segar, juga membuka mata kita akan keindahan yang lama tersembunyi. Tak kalah menarik, lazimnya destinasi baru, turisnya masih minim. Di Jepang, Odawara masuk kategori tersebut. Awalnya tak terdengar, kota satelit di selatan Tokyo ini sekarang tampil percaya diri dalam memikat turis, terutama usai namanya tercantum dalam novel terbaru karya Murakami. Perkembangan serupa terlihat di Oman. Jika Uni Emirat Arab, tetangganya di utara, agresif memikat turis, Oman justru baru merintis industri pariwisatanya, dan progresnya terlihat menjanjikan. Di sejumlah sudut negara kesultanan ini, resor-resor internasional bermunculan.

Untuk pertama kalinya, kami menerbitkan edisi seni dan desain. Tema ini mungkin sekilas terdengar janggal bagi sebuah majalah wisata. Akan tetapi, jika kita mengamati fenomena dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, maka kita akan mendapati bahwa menikmati seni dan desain—atau kombinasi keduanya—telah menjadi agenda baku banyak traveler. Dan dari sini muncul kebutuhan akan informasi dan gagasan segar seputar wisata seni dan desain.

Di edisi ini pembaca akan menemukan ulasan tentang Le Havre di Normandy, Etihad Museum di Dubai, hotel seni baru di Yogyakarta, serta kreasi terakhir dari mendiang Ellsworth Kelly di Texas. Melayani rasa haus publik akan ruang seni alternatif, kami meminta lima tokoh seni memberikan rekomendasi ruang-ruang seni di Indonesia. Sementara bagi para penggemar Yayoi Kusama, kami melansir 14 kota yang memajang kreasi artis berpengaruh asal Jepang tersebut.

Sejumlah destinasi akan bersinar lebih terang di 2018. Terpilih sebagai European Capital of Culture,  Leeuwarden dan Valletta akan menanggap serangkaian acara bertema budaya sepanjang tahun, sementara Mexico City menikmati statusnya sebagai World Design Capital dengan menggelar puluhan proyek urban yang akan mengubah wajahnya. Di Asia, Abu Dhabi akan menambah daya tariknya dengan meresmikan taman rekreasi Warner Bros. World, pembukaan mahal di kota ini setelah Louvre di 2017.

Banyak turis menginginkan destinasi yang diinginkan turis lain. Sindrom “fear of missing out” memang menggejala pula di dunia wisata. Tapi ada kalanya kita perlu berjarak dari kerumunan. Ada kalanya liburan berarti menikmati privasi dan intimasi, menjauhkan internet dan televisi, menyaksikan bintang yang bersinar lebih terang,
melewati waktu bersama sepi dan diri sendiri. Kesempatan itulah yang coba ditawarkan oleh edisi ini melalui artikel utama bertema delapan resor terpencil di delapan kabupaten di Indonesia. Secara bertahap selama tiga tahun, penulis kami mengunjungi, mengetes, dan mengulas resor-resor yang menyempil di lokasi yang eksotis dan menyempal dari sirkuit utama turis.

Mencoba masakan khas lokal di negara tujuan adalah hobi setiap pengelana, termasuk saya. Pemicunya bukan semata rasa penasaran, tapi juga keinginan memahami identitas sebuah tempat. Tiap masakan tradisional sejatinya menyimpan banyak cerita tentang hikayat suatu bangsa, kondisi iklimnya, karakter tanahnya, hingga posisi geopolitiknya.

Kanal-kanal yang membelah Amsterdam, butik-butik yang bertaburan di Paris, bar-bar yang membuat New York malas tertidur. Tiap kota umumnya memiliki satu citra yang tertanam kuat di benak kita, dan kita pun mengunjunginya, sekali atau berkali-kali, karena tergoda oleh citra tersebut.

Genap berusia empat tahun, DestinAsian Indonesia kembali menegaskan komitmennya untuk menjadi majalah yang mengutamakan reportase lapangan, kedalaman tulisan, juga visual yang menggugah—tiga resep yang kami yakini vital untuk menghasilkan konten yang bermutu sekaligus menginspirasi pembaca.

Perjalanan, bukan tujuan. Transportasi, bukan destinasi. Berniat membuka tahun dengan sesuatu yang segar, edisi ini mengangkat tema “wisata moda,” sebuah aktivitas di mana proses perjalanan lebih penting ketimbang tujuan, di mana “petualangan” berarti perjumpaan-perjumpaan yang berkesan sepanjang jalan.
Kisah-kisah semacam itu sempat menghiasi genre travel writing. Kita mungkin ingat catatan dramatis The Great Railway Bazaar karya Paul Theroux dan Among the Russians dari Colin Thubron.

Di luar definisi klasiknya, yakni keberanian melintasi batas dan kenekatan menantang nasib, petualangan sejatinya merupakan kata longgar yang multi-tafsir, dan edisi khusus petualangan ini menghadirkan hanya sebagian dari tafsir tersebut.

Keahlian memasak bisa dilatih dan merek restoran dapat diwaralaba, tapi rasa sulit direplika. Itu sebabnya Jeonju tak tergantikan. Distempel sebagai jantung kuliner Korea, Jeonju adalah tanah kelahiran sejumlah menu ikonis Negeri Ginseng.
Banyak kreasinya sudah bisa ditemukan di tempat lain, tapi warga Korea masih gemar menyambanginya tiap akhir pekan. 

Sebagai negara kepulauan terbesar, Indonesia memang memiliki banyak aset mumpuni untuk menjadi destinasi wisata bahari dunia. Tapi banyak aset kerap berarti banyak pertanyaan. Dari mana kita memulai penjelajahan? Negeri ini mengoleksi 17.000 pulau, tapi di manakah kita bisa melakoni island hopping atau tur pesiar? Negeri ini juga memiliki garis pesisir sepanjang 54.000 kilometer, namun di mana kita bisa menikmati ombak selancar terdahsyat?

Neraca penyebaran manusia resmi bergeser. Statistik yang dilansir PBB  menunjukkan kini ada lebih banyak manusia yang menetap di kota ketimbang desa. Tentu saja, gelombang urbanisasi dipicu banyak sebab, tapi tak bisa dipungkiri ada sesuatu tentang kota yang seolah membius mata: mungkin lampu-lampunya, gedung-gedungnya, atau bisa jadi kemajemukan warganya yang membuat  setiap orang merasa menjadi bagian dari dunia—menjadi manusia yang kosmopolitan.

Di masa ketika informasi berseliweran dengan cepat dan kerap tercampur bias, saya tetap percaya: konten yang berkualitas adalah segalanya; akurasi adalah prinsip yang tak bisa ditawar; kedalaman tulisan dan visual yang menggugah adalah resep
terbaik untuk menginspirasi pembaca. Keyakinan itulah yang menuntun DestinAsian Indonesia menapaki usia tiga tahun.

Membuka tahun yang baru, DestinAsian Indonesia menciptakan tiga rubrik baru yang dirancang untuk meningkatkan pengalaman berwisata, memperkaya wawasan, serta membuka lapisan-lapisan yang berbeda dari dunia travel.

Semua orang tentu sependapat, Yogyakarta dan Amsterdam adalah dua tempat dengan karakter yang berbeda. Bahkan mungkin kontradiktif. Yogya hidup dalam alam budaya agraris Jawa yang penuh tata dan tertib, sedangkan Amsterdam adalah kota kosmopolitan yang paling liberal di dunia.

EKSPEDISI PESIAR, Berita baik bagi Kalimantan. Kapal pesiar yang membidik turis internasional telah hadir guna menawarkan tur-tur mengarungi sungai dan menembus belantara. Wisata semacam ini sudah lama dinanti di Kalimantan, pulau yang dialiri empat dari 10 sungai terpanjang di Indonesia, serta dibalut hutan seluas 26 juta hektare yang menjadi habitat bagi orangutan dan anggrek-anggrek langka.

Di zaman ketika sekujur bumi seolah telah direkatkan oleh Google Maps dan terpampang di media sosial, petualangan seolah menjadi kata yang kehilangan
maknanya. Kecuali mungkin di Kobror. Terapung di antara NTT dan Papua, teronggok di tengah Laut Aru, Kobror adalah pulau yang asing dari telinga dan luput dari sudut mata. Ada apa di Kobror?

Saat Singapura merayakan ulang tahunnya yang ke-50, edisi ini merumuskan panduan untuk menyelami sisi terlezat negeri tetangga tersebut. Kami menghubungi
13 penulis, kritikus, serta food blogger terpandang yang bermarkas di Singapura, lalu meminta mereka merekomendasikan tempat terbaik untuk menikmati sarapan, makan siang, dan makan malam. Hasilnya adalah sebuah kitab kuliner yang  komprehensif. Anda tak cuma akan menemukan gerai-gerai terpandang yang menghiasi daftar 50 Restoran Terbaik di Asia, tapi juga rahasia-rahasia lokal yang tersembunyi di gang-gang sempit.

Maret ini, DestinAsian Indonesia genap berusia dua tahun. Melalui catatan  pengantar ini, saya mengucapkan terima kasih kepada para pelanggan, pembaca, pengiklan, distributor, serta semua pihak yang setia mendukung perjalanan  DestinAsian Indonesia. Bagi sebuah majalah, apalagi yang membidik ceruk spesifik, dua tahun memang usia yang belia, tapi sekaligus juga krusial. Di titik inilah kami
mulai memahami selera pembaca lebih komprehensif dan akurat. Di titik ini pula pembaca mulai menaikkan level ekspektasi dan menurunkan batas toleransi. Memasuki tahun ketiganya, DestinAsian Indonesia bertekad memenuhi semua harapan tersebut secara konsisten. Tampilan baru majalah yang dimulai di edisi ini adalah salah satu bukti komitmen kami untuk melayani pembaca dengan lebih baik.

Tahun 2015 dibuka dengan optimisme, terutama di bidang ekonomi, di mana pasar merespons positif pemerintah baru. Tapi Tahun Kambing ini juga menawarkan hal lain yang tak kalah menarik: 12 hari libur, di luar akhir pekan. Di edisi ini, Anda bisa
menemukan banyak opsi tempat untuk mengisinya.

Di periode penutup tahun, kita lazimnya sibuk meramaikan tempat ramai. Edisi ini dirancang untuk menawarkan alternatif dari tren massal. Alih-alih menyerbu sentra-sentra kegaduhan, kami mengajak Anda terbang ke pulau terpencil, menembus ombak, menepi dari lampu-lampu kota, mencicipi kemewahan yang merayakan intimasi ketimbang atraksi.

Kendati banyak kota menampilkan menu dari penjuru bumi, hasrat petualangan gastronomi di dunia tak serta-merta padam. Kita masih berburu makanan lokal di tanah kelahirannya, berusaha mencicipi autentisitas yang tak berkompromi dengan lidah turis ataupun selera global, serta menyelami tradisi memasak yang kaya sejarah. Edisi ini didesain untuk merayakan gairah tersebut.
