The Bali Tourism Development Corporation (BTDC), the state-owned enterprise which had successfully developed Nusa Dua as a tourism area, this year again proudly hosts the Nusa Dua Fiesta 2010 with the theme “Green Tourism”. Starting in 1996 as a medium to promote the Nusa Dua area to both domestic and foreign markets, BTDC together with the hotels and businesses in the area held its first successful Nusa Dua Festival, which, following remarkable success and positive responses from the markets and clients, in 2007 changed its name to Nusa Dua Fiesta. This year, the Nusa Dua Fiesta 2010, to be held in Nusa Dua Peninsula from 15 to 19 October 2010, will once again feature exhibitions, performing arts, cultural attractions, sports, music, exhibition and fun games with the environmental theme “Green Tourism”, reminding us of the importance of environmental conservation for the sustainability of tourism in Bali.
The site of the Fiesta itself will feature breathtaking 15 metres water blown waves breaking against the steep cliffs, which will provide for a very dramatic background. The green theme will highlight activities such as sport, fun games, exhibition and cultural attractions from the provinces of Bali and other regions in Indonesia, as well as exhibitions of various handicrafts from different regions in Indonesia. The “Green Camp” programme will involve schoolchildren and aims to raise their awareness about their own environments as early as possible through beach clean up along the beaches of Nusa Dua, knowledge about eco-tourism, concern for plastic waste, planting coral reefs, and activities to realize a long-term “One Man One Tree” national goal and sports activities that will run in conjunction with the Bali International Sports Week.
The Bali International Sports Week will feature several kinds of sports such as wood ball, beach volleyball, billiards, cricket, golf tournament and the Bali International Marathon. For arts and cultural performances, Nusa Dua Fiesta 2010 this year will be enlivened by the colossal dancing of Kebo Iwa and Princesses Nyale of Lombok, and will also feature performances from foreign countries such as the International Dance Performance from India and Japan, and no less interesting is the Belly Dance Performance.
“The Nusa Dua Fiesta will be different this year than in years past. This time, the Nusa Dua Fiesta 2010 will feature the Culinary Exchange 2010 event, which will be followed by chefs within Indonesia. Visitors to the Nusa Dua Fiesta, especially foreign visitors, will be able to see directly the cooking demonstration on traditional Balinese menu, an event that will boost the awareness of the Balinese traditional cooking among international tourists,” said Drs. IGK Purnaya, the General Chairman of the Nusa Dua Fiesta 2010.
