Building a sustainable future

Sustainable tourism in Bali

A project led by the Centre for Tourism and Services Research (CTSR) is developing a Balinese tourism strategy to ensure the popular holiday destination remains sustainable and attractive.

The Green Growth 2050 Roadmap, commissioned by the Indonesian Ministry of Culture and Tourism, is a strategy for Bali to take an international leading role in the new green economy and tourism market and provide a road map for action and investment. The project deals with climate change adaption, sustainable tourism development and the delivery of increased living standards for Balinese people.

“This project will guide the way for Bali to develop and implement its own green growth vision and ideas, and adapt to future risks from climate change.”
