Bali is currently placing a strong focus on environmental health, driven by growing concerns over various global environmental issues and their adverse impacts on society. As a result, numerous sectors, including tourism, are prioritizing sustainability initiatives.
Ini Vie Hospitality stands as a prominent contributor to sustainability within the tourism sector. Guided by a vision and mission that aim to create value not only for guests but also for the broader community, Ini Vie Hospitality’s dedication to sustainable practices has been recognized with an award from Eco Tourism Bali, along with both Golden and Silver Badges.
The eco-friendly initiatives are divided into four key categories: resource conservation, pollution reduction, preservation of biodiversity, ecosystems, and landscapes, and social benefits for local communities. Specific actions taken within each category include:
Resource Conservation:
- Minimizing plastic use and prioritizing products made from recycled materials
