Every year we challenge ourselves to create the ultimate Reho Travel Christmas video, this year we took it up a notch, returning to Timor Leste last week with a film crew in tow. We worked with some incredibly talented artists, generous locals, and enthusiastic children in a challenging and constantly changing environment. This music video tells the story of Underwater Cinema who are on a mission to educate the Timorese people about the importance of preserving our oceans using snorkelling, free diving, and beach clean-ups as a means to introduce individuals to the wonders of the sea while emphasising its critical role in our ecosystem.

Timor-Leste's history is marked by a complex interplay of colonisation, brutal occupation, and a struggle for freedom. Since gaining independence in 2002, Ti...

We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Underwater Cinema, a dynamic social enterprise located in Dili, Timor Leste. This collaboration marks a significant step toward fostering environmental consciousness and empowering the youth of Timor Leste, a nation with a median age of 20, which gained independence in 2002.

Underwater Cinema, led by the charismatic marine environmentalist Dedy Kayaka and operated by a dedicated team of 18 scuba divers, is on a mission to educate the Timorese people about the importance of preserving our oceans and marine ecosystems. Their innovative approach involves using snorkelling as a means to introduce individuals to the wonders of the sea while emphasizing its critical role in our ecosystem.

Key initiatives of Underwater Cinema include engaging the local community in beach cleaning activities as an exchange for participating in snorkelling experiences. This practical approach not only helps keep Timor Leste's beaches pristine but also instils a sense of responsibility and love for the environment among its participants.

Reho Travel's involvement in this partnership will extend critical support to Underwater Cinema's mission. Our contributions will encompass logistical assistance, the provision of essential equipment for beach cleaning and snorkelling, sponsorship of qualified freedivers from Europe to train Timorese instructors, and the utilisation of our extensive networks to sustain and expand the program's reach.

Furthermore, Reho Travel will facilitate interaction between the Underwater Cinema program and our study tour students, offering them a unique opportunity to engage with the local community and gain firsthand insights into Timor Leste's environmental conservation efforts.

"We are thrilled to embark on this partnership with Underwater Cinema," said Karsten Horne, CEO at Reho Travel. "Empowering the youth of Timor Leste to become stewards of their environment aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainable tourism. We believe that by working together, we can make a significant positive impact on the environment and the future of this remarkable nation."

Dedy Kayaka, Founder of Underwater Cinema, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, saying, "Reho Travel's support will be instrumental in furthering our mission to educate, inspire, and create positive change in Timor Leste. Together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of the Timorese people and the environment we all share."

This partnership between Reho Travel and Underwater Cinema represents a powerful collaboration between a socially responsible travel company and a passionate environmental initiative. It underscores the potential for positive change when businesses and social enterprises unite for a common cause.

Responsible travel is about the attitude you take and the choices you make.
It's about choosing to respect and benefit the local people, their cultures, economies and the environment.

When you hit the road with us, you leave lighter footprints, invest your travel dollars in local communities, show respect and curiosity for different cultures and traditions, and experience genuine connections with the people you meet along the way.

Welcome to a special edition of our newsletter. In breaking news we can announce that finally after several months of skyrocketing airfares, Singapore Airlines has given us access to some amazing airfares in all classes across the majority of their destinations, suddenly it feels like it’s 2019! Get in touch with our team on 03 9823 5225 (leisure enquiries) or 03 9823 5233 (corporate enquiries) or email [email protected] to secure your seats.

Singapore Airlines has been our favourite airline partner for over 40 years, together we shared many milestones. (Did you know they are only 5 years older than us!) I still remember the excitement I felt when I went on the first A380 in 2007 and the welcome the huge aircraft received at Sydney Airport. We have just returned from Europe and were fortunate to experience their amazing new business class and the brand new Silver Kris lounge at Changi Airport.

In our experience Singapore Airlines has always shown a strong approach to innovation and sustainability, especially around the community, waste generation, their fleet and people which I’m sure sits well with you.
