Welcome to the Participants of UNCCC

December 19th, 2007

It’s a great honor for Bali to obtain a marvelous reliance as the end of 2007 approaches. As a world’s tourist destination, Bali hosts the United Nations Conference on Climate Change (UNCCC). This Conference will be attended by 2,000 official delegates from 189 country members of the United Nations with intense concerns for the environment. Without a doubt, this reliance does not only have political impact on the security of Bali, but also delivers economic impact where 7,600 hotel rooms in Nusa Dua have been fully reserved.
More importantly this is an opportunity for Bali to introduce its indigenous concepts to the international forum. For instance, the environmental concept of Balinese community is based on Tri Hita Karana. Therefore, environment in their perspective is not merely the tangible one (physical environment). However, they view the environment integrally, namely socially and spiritually as well as physically. In other words, the world environment will grow harmonious if a balance occurs among the physical (natural), social and spiritual environment. Suppose that if we do not pay great attention to one of those environments, we cannot expect to realize harmony. It’s the indigenous concept of Bali.
For that purpose, on Tuesday 4 December 2007 the presentation of the Tri Hita Karana Tourism Awards to hotels in Bali was held. Such awards were conferred on the hotels that have consistently implemented the Tri Hita Karana concept in their hotel management. Congratulations to the award recipients and Welcome to the Participants of UNCCC, 3-14 December 2007!
