Green Growth 2050 Roadmap For Bali Sustainable Tourism Development

Bali has developed as one of world’s most prominent tourism destination. Its main attractions are its nature, its unique culture and the hospitality of its people.

However, Bali is facing many important challenges. Its traditional agriculture is under pressure from the staggering demand for land from population and tourism growth. Bali is also facing serious threat from its lack of capacity to maintain water provision for agriculture, industry, tourism and residential development. Traffic congestion is currently overwhelming and GHG emissions and degradation of terrestrial and marine ecosystems are increasing. As the main economic sector in Bali, tourism (more than 40% of its GDP according to Indonesian Tourism Satellite Accounts), is under pressure to reduce its impact while still continuing to grow in a very competitive environment to deliver much needed livelihood improvements for its people.

To help address these challenges we have developed a Green Growth 2050 Roadmap to guide the continued growth and sustainable development of Bali’s tourism sector.
