Sources: 2. Developments: 2. Bali has launched several initiatives aimed at promoting sustainable development and environmental protection through strategic zoning. Under the ‘Kerthi Bhumi Satwika’ program, Governor Wayan Koster designated six low-emission zones, including Ubud, Nusa Penida, Nusa Dua, Kuta, Sanur, and the Gajah Mada Cultural Heritage Area. This program focuses on five pillars: Green Energy, Green Transportation, Green Ecosystems, Green Tourism Industry, and Green Society. Complementing these environmental efforts, the Badung Regency has introduced a tourism zoning strategy to shift the focus from visitor quantity to quality. This plan distributes tourism activities across different regions: the south will prioritize entertainment and accommodation, the central region will emphasize culture and arts, and the north will focus on ecotourism. Officials have indicated that success should be measured by metrics such as length of stay, tourist spending, and environmental awareness rather than just visitor numbers. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-25: Badung Regency implements tourism zoning to prioritize quality over quantity Badung Regency is implementing a three-zone tourism strategy focusing on culture, ecotourism, and entertainment to prioritize visitor quality and local economic impact over mere arrival numbers. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/badung-regency-implements-tourism-zoning-to-prioritize-quality-over-quantity ### 2026-10-11: Bali designates six low-emission zones under new green program Bali Governor Wayan Koster has established six low-emission zones, including Ubud and Kuta, under the Kerthi Bhumi Satwika program to promote sustainable tourism and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bali-designates-six-low-emission-zones-under-new-green-program --- Cite as: Bali sustainable tourism and environmental initiatives.
