Since 2021, our founders have worked tirelessly to establish tourism standards that are locally relevant while also adhering to international benchmarks, ensuring competitiveness in a highly dynamic market. As of today, we have developed Detailed Guidelines for accommodations and restaurants, which serve as a comprehensive reference for our members. These guidelines aim to transform Bali into a tourism destination that not only adapts to climate change but also progressively becomes healthier, more ethical, and sustainable. By 2025, Eco Tourism Bali envisions a more progressive tourism industry that prioritizes sustainability and fosters individual, particularly business, awareness to implement eco-friendly practices. This vision ensures that the goal of becoming truly sustainable transcends mere aspirations and hopes. Eco Tourism Bali’s efforts are not confined to Bali alone but are designed to eventually extend across all regions of Indonesia, ultimately contributing to the welfare and prosperity of the community at large. #SustainableTourism #RegenerativeBali #EcoTourism #ClimateAction

We all know that these days, #Sustainability is the trend. If your business ain’t sustainable, there’s a slight chance you will experience a decline in customers. No one wants that to happen, so, to stay relevant, many businesses are striving to adopt #eco-friendly practices and claim themselves to be green businesses. Unfortunately, not all of them are genuine. Here are signs that a business might be #greenwashing: 1. Vague Claims: Using buzzwords like "eco-friendly" or "sustainable" without clear, measurable actions to back them up. 2. Misleading Marketing: Highlighting one small green initiative while ignoring larger, harmful practices. 3. No Transparency: Avoiding detailed reporting on sustainability goals or progress. 4. Short-Term Campaigns: Treating sustainability as a trend or marketing gimmick rather than a long-term commitment integrated into their operations. 5. No Certifications: Lack of recognized third-party certifications or verifications to validate their sustainability efforts. However, when you see our #EcoClimateBadge on some hotels or resorts in Bali, we can guarantee you that there is no greenwashing involved! Our members undergo a rigorous process, starting with a detailed self-assessment to evaluate their sustainability practices. Following this, a third-party auditor conducts an on-site verification to ensure compliance with our high standards. These businesses are not only certified but also committed to continuous improvement in their sustainability journey, with the help of our 71-paged #DetailedGuidelines,  tailored to local #hospitality businesses and aligned with Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards. Want to be like them? Register your business with us and begin your journey toward verified sustainability. Let’s make your operations greener, and contribute to a healthier Bali.

May your efforts impact our #environment positively, inspiring others to embrace #sustainability and work together towards preserving Bali’s natural beauty for generations to come. ♻️

To be on #Fodor’s No Travel List 2025 was upsetting, and should have been a wake-up call for everyone to act faster and smarter. Nonetheless, we should still be proud, as Bali has received a lot more #internationalawards despite being on one bad list. See the lists of Bali’s Awards in 2024 here: https://lnkd.in/g9fPqv6e

Congratulations to our visionary Founder, ibu Suzy Hutomo, for winning the Changemaker of the Year 2024! ✨ Your blazing spirit for change is always inspiring, and may it remain so until the dream for the Bali we love comes true. #ecotourismbali #balitourism #thepunchco #sustainabilityawards
