Destinasi* = + - Destination*

Destinasi = + - Destination

The word "destinasi" frequently appears before the names of geographical locations, as in "Destinasi pelancongan."

The word "destinasi" also appears in the name of a blog about Malaysia, called "My Destinasi."

The word "destinasi" also appears in the text of the My Destinasi blog, followed immediately by the word "yang:"

Kawasan air mineral ini yang lebih dikenali sebagai Air Tarong oleh penduduk setempat merupakan satu destinasi yang agak menarik di sini. Air mineral ini berasal dari mata air yang terdapat jauh ke dalam bumi dan dipercayai berkhasiat dan mempunyai nilai-nilai penyembuhan oleh penduduk setempat.
Since the word "destinasi" is a cognate of the word "destination," and since it appears in discussions of location and locations, I hypothesize that the word "destinasi" means "destination" or "destined."

"Destinasi" must also mean "site" or "website," as in "Destinasi Avior Airlines."

Depending on the context, "destinasi-destinasi" may also be a synonym, alternative, or closely related to the phrase "bandara bandara."
