With its outstanding natural sites and Indigenous cultures, Indonesia has the potential to be a global leader in the field of Ecotourism, and Bali is playing a crucial role. Ecotourism developments on Bali are far from their potential, though increased awareness and more educated travelers has made the sector by far the most exciting growing segment of tourism on Bali today. They also organize Bali’s Big Eco Weekend each year, in which influential people and well-known surfers help to clean up beaches in order to raise awareness with travelers.
Tourists need to become conscious of themselves and need to travel sustainably in order to conserve the environment and to promote a more responsible tourism in Bali.
