Bali & Beyond Travel Fair (BBTF) 2025, Indonesia’s leading travel fair, returns on June 11-13 at the Bali International Convention Center (BICC) in Nusa Dua. Themed “Indonesia: Preserving Green Nature and Cultural Heritage for the World”, this year’s event highlights the nation’s commitment to sustainable tourism, merging eco-conscious practices with cultural preservation. BBTF continues to serve as a B2B platform, drawing global tourism stakeholders to exchange ideas, showcase innovations, and drive sustainable growth and business.
Despite challenges, the Renewable Energy Advancements in Bali is continuously progressing – The island’s efforts align with Indonesia’s broader goals, incorporating renewable energy, community-driven initiatives, and corporate innovations to create a tourism model where tradition and technology coexist seamlessly. A commitment to net-zero emissions by 2045 is evident through key initiatives such as solar power installations, including the Bali-Mandara Toll Road project, and micro-hydro systems enhancing the energy mix. These projects underscore the island’s dedication to reducing its carbon footprint while maintaining its natural beauty.
Corporate Leadership in Sustainability. Bali is home for so many global hospitality leaders that are contributing to Bali’s sustainability narrative best practices. Take an example of Mariott International, through its “Serve 360” program, that has implemented impactful initiatives in Bali and across Indonesia. Notable illustrations include hydroponic herb gardens at over 40 properties, reducing supply chain emissions, and partnerships with organizations like Scholars of Sustenance (SOS) to combat food waste and initiate the “Sadeva” food truck, which distributes surplus food to communities in Nusa Dua and Jimbaran Bali are impactful.
BICC: A Sustainable Venue in Nusa Dua, the host venue for BBTF 2025, exemplifies sustainable operations. The center has embraced energy-efficient lighting systems, implemented robust waste management programs, and incorporated water-saving technologies throughout its facilities. BICC has also prioritized using locally sourced, eco-friendly materials in its infrastructure and regularly hosts green-certified events. By integrating these practices, BICC not only enhances the guest experience but also supports Bali’s mission to position itself as a sustainable destination.
Westin properties in Bali further demonstrate how luxury meets eco-consciousness. The Westin Resort & Spa Ubud houses Trigona bee hives, supporting biodiversity and offering guests a chance to adopt bees. The Westin Resort Nusa Dua focuses on zero-waste cocktails, locally sourced ingredients, and collaborations with organizations like ChopValue have led to the repurposing of used chopsticks into eco-friendly products, further reducing waste.
BBTF 2025 invites the communities and business partners to join efforts on the island’s journey to pursue a sustainable destination, hand in hand with honoring tradition and preserving a harmonious balance between growth and sustainability for travelers’ experience. Join us at BBTF 2025.
