Company profile

Papua Expeditions is a trade name of cv.Ekonexion, a 100 % locally-owned Limited Partnership with registered office in Sorong (on the northwestern tip of New Guinea's Bird's Head Peninsula), organized after the laws of the Republic of Indonesia, the Papua Special Autonomous Region, the novel province of West Papua, and the regency of Sorong Town.

Founded in June 2005, we are exclusively active in the domain of ecotourism, both as an independent travel operator specializing in bird and general wildlife tours, as a consultancy for regional ecotourism planning and development. While the practical organization of environmentally and socially responsible travel constitutes our core activity, additional services that we can provide range from in-depth in situ assessments of birding and general ecotourism potential to multi-lingual web marketing solutions to further their development.

Throughout our business activities, emerges the foresight to embrace and expand on existing conservation priorities, as well as the endeavor to create through responsible travel, economically viable and sustainable income-generating mechanisms for secluded communities living at the heart of biodiversity, as a focused and independent means of strengthening and fine-tuning both conservation as community development efforts and policies. In order to maximize the outlook of tangible results in these fields, each ecotourism destination in Papua that we promote, as a start, has been carefully selected on the basis of biodiversity richness and species endemism, existing conservation priorities, ecosystem and habitat intactness, accessibility, and not least community receptiveness.

Perhaps our universal message should simply be that, by carefully choosing who you entrust with organizing your Papua experience, you can help to make a difference!
