Community

"Si Tou Timou Tumou Tou" — People live to help others live. The Minahasa philosophy that guides everything we do.

Local Empowerment

Prosperity Through Partnership

At Pulisanbay, we believe that true regenerative tourism must uplift the communities that make it possible. Our development is anchored in the three villages — Desa Marinsow, Kinunang, and Pulisan.

Through employment, training, and partnerships, we ensure that the benefits of tourism flow directly to the people who have been the stewards of this land for generations.
