“Bali is the perfect destination for travelers that seeking for quality and sustainability learning – so much to do and bring home the new life changing experiences – from the spiritual, traditions, local wisdom healing to the nature serenity – come and join us at BBTF 2023 .” said I Putu Winastra, the Head Committee of BBTF 2023 – also Chairman of ASITA Bali Chapter.
BBTF 2023 connects quality and sustainable tourism, encouraging industry stakeholders to become more community-based to create long-term value and more significant benefits for local people and environments.
Further, when it comes to engaging with the local community, quality tourism doesn’t only require its visitors to talk and learn some stories from the locals but also takes part in their social and economic activities.
Today’s travellers are increasingly looking for a healing experience, humanity, and engagement that meaningful event might bring some life-changing from their travelling experience – the philosophies from the locals.
There are plenty of advantages in learning to be a responsible traveller shared by the local people – some are wisdom on simply how to be a better person. We believe the concept of quality tourism is to spend time in a destination by genuinely enjoying and learning the whole journey and being a responsible traveller.
Indonesia responds to visitors’ expectations by highlighting the quality and sustainable tourism in the new era of worldwide market demand. What is ‘quality tourism’, and how different is it from the usual, ordinary tourism done by travellers in the past?
Participate more by purchasing local products in the traditional market to support their micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), giving rewarding experience. Share the stories on social media platforms, write it on the blog, and let the whole world know about them so people will be eager to visit and experience the same thing as you do. Social and economic affairs should not be the only thing you participate in regarding quality tourism.
Being so close to the local wisdom, we could also become a part of their economic growth while contributing to their environmental preservation. This simple interaction might be a great story to share and inspire family, friends at home, and even social media followers to be responsible travellers. Here is the time to travel, learn and experience local culture and nature in mindfulness.
At the bare minimum, you also need to be a responsible traveller who knows not to litter or harass public places and always respects the norms and rules of the place you visit. Doing so will contribute to their local community’s sustainability while having fun in the place they are visiting. Your trip would become not only exciting but also meaningful to the well-being of the local environment.
