Alfa Edison, CEO of Alfa Tour Kaza Mustika Travel & Vice Chairman of the SAPUHI Association, guided by Gunawan Yasni, an expert in Sharia Economic and Finance and a member of the National Sharia Council.

The speakers explained in detail various topics such as hajj departure preparations and various tips and tricks, the advantages and disadvantages of available hajj packages, financial planning strategies, programs, and products offered by Danamon Syariah to facilitate the hajj plans for potential pilgrims.

"Danamon Syariah commited to facilitate the needs of pilgrims in hajj and umrah preparations, by providing various promos and financial products tailored to the needs of our customers," said Herry Hykmanto, Director of Sharia & Sustainability Finance at Danamon.

Furthermore, Herry explained that Danamon Syariah provides comprehensive and innovative financial services for various needs, starting from Sharia savings, Sharia home ownership financing, Sharia vehicle ownership financing, employee cooperative financing, working capital financing, IMBT leasing financing, to the realization of hajj and umrah pilgrimage, such as special and regular hajj registration, hajj savings, umrah savings, and ZISWAF payment services, as well as other services.

Not only discussing Hajj Pilgrimage, ZISWAF as part of the social banking phenomenon is also one of the best topics at the Danamon Syariah Travel Fair 2024 event. On the second day of the fair (March 22, 2024), Danamon Syariah held a talk show titled "Building Productive Waqf" by presenting several resource persons who are competent in their fields from Badan Wakaf Indonesia and Dompet Dhuafa. 

During the event, there was also a discussion about productive and non-productive waqf. As an example, waqf in Indonesia is divided into two types: productive and non-productive waqf. Non-productive waqf focuses on direct benefits such as in mosques, schools, and hospitals. 

On the other hand, productive waqf involves the use of fixed assets for production activities, with the results used according to the waqf objectives. Waqf has evolved into an activity that supports community empowerment, not only limited to social aspects but also including education, health, and economic empowerment, especially for micro small businesses.

In order to facilitate the journey of Muslims in carrying out waqf, Danamon has launched Social Banking, a digital platform that facilitates waqf and gives control to the younger generation of Muslims to contribute practically. This initiative supports the development of cash waqf in Indonesia, highlighting Danamon's commitment to helping achieve prosperity.

Overall, the Danamon Syariah Travel Fair 2024 is a major step in supporting and facilitating the spiritual and financial needs of Muslims in Indonesia. By bringing competent speakers and relevant materials, the event aims to improve the understanding and preparation of Muslims in performing Hajj pilgrimage and utilizing the potential of waqf for social and economic empowerment. 

Danamon Syariah is always committed to supporting and facilitating the needs of Muslims in pilgrimage and waqf, leading to sustainable prosperity for society. This Travel Fair is just one of the many initiatives taken by Danamon Syariah to realize that commitment.
