]]> UN Tourism Announces Best Tourism Villages 2024: 55 Rural Communities Shaping the Future of Sustainable Travel https://bali.com/news/un-tourism-announces-best-tourism-villages-2024-55-rural-communities-shaping-the-future-of-sustainable-travel/ Tue, 19 Nov 2024 05:23:48 +0000 https://bali.com/?p=294028

November 19, 2024

From Caviahue-Copahue in Argentina to Tra Que Vegetable Village in Viet Nam, discover the 55 new Best Tourism Villages by UN Tourism.

Rural destinations consolidate their position as key players in sustainable tourism and community development as UN Tourism announces its Best Tourism Villages 2024.

In this fourth edition, 55 villages from all regions received the recognition, chosen from over 260 applications from more than 60 UN Tourism Member States. Another 20 villages were chosen to join the Upgrade Programme.

“Tourism is a vital tool for inclusion, empowering rural communities to protect and value their rich cultural heritage while driving sustainable development,” said UN Tourism Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili. “The Best Tourism Villages initiative not only recognizes the remarkable achievements of these villages but also highlights the transformative power of tourism. By leveraging their unique assets, these communities can foster economic growth, promote local traditions, and enhance the quality of life for their residents. We celebrate the villages that have embraced tourism as a pathway to empowerment and community well-being, demonstrating that sustainable practices can lead to a brighter future for all.”

The Best Tourism Villages by UN Tourism initiative was launched in 2021 to advance tourism’s role in rural areas, preserving landscapes, cultural diversity, local values, and culinary traditions. The Best Tourism Villages (BTV) Network grows every year, and with the announcement of its 75 new members, 254 villages are now part of the largest community of rural destinations in the world.

Uniting Rural Destinations for Sustainable Development

The Best Tourism Villages initiative is part of the UN Tourism for Rural Development Programme. The Programme works to foster development and inclusion in rural areas, combat depopulation, advance innovation and value chain integration through tourism, and encourage sustainable practices.

As in previous editions, the villages were evaluated under nine key areas:

  1. Cultural and Natural Resources
  2. Promotion and Conservation of Cultural Resources
  3. Economic Sustainability
  4. Social Sustainability
  5. Environmental Sustainability
  6. Tourism Development and Value Chain Integration
  7. Governance and Prioritization of Tourism
  8. Infrastructure and Connectivity
  9. Health, Safety, and Security

The Best Tourism Villages initiative not only recognizes the remarkable achievements of these villages but also highlights the transformative power of tourism

The initiative comprises three pillars:

  • Best Tourism Villages by UN Tourism: Recognizes outstanding rural tourism destinations with accredited cultural and natural assets, a commitment to preserving community-based values, and a clear commitment to innovation and sustainability across economic, social, and environmental dimensions.
  • Best Tourism Villages by UN Tourism Upgrade Programme: Supports villages on their journey to meet recognition criteria, helping them improve in areas identified as weakness during evaluation.
  • The Best Tourism Villages Network: A space for exchanging experiences and good practices, learning, and opportunities among its members, and it is open to contributions from experts and public and private sector partners engaged in the promotion of tourism as a driver for rural development.

UPDATE Aug 2025 : All Indonesia Registration Process

All Indonesia Info

Indonesia, August 30, 2024

Indonesia implements a health pass form for all travelers entering into Indonesia

MPOX Travel Regulations

All passengers and aircraft personnel traveling from abroad are now required to fill in a Health Pass form.

Due to the classification of Mpox as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) by the WHO, Indonesia reacts with the implementation of a Health Pass. The requirement has been implemented with immediate effect and is of course also relevant for all travelers arriving to Bali from outside Indonesia.
Link to Official Health Pass Form below
Each traveler needs to fill in the health pass form – also children. While the form is asking travelers to indicate if they suffer from MPOX related symptoms, like fever. It is also required to mention which countries have been visited in the last 21 days.

Fill in your Health Pass Form for Indonesia Online

Health Pass Form

The form is part of SATUSEHAT which is the app and electronic tracking system the Indonesian Government used to track and prevent the Covid-19 pandemic.

Source: Circular Letter from the Director General of Civil Aviation Number SE 5 DJPU of 2024

Singapore already implemented Monkey POX regulations for travelers

This regulation is implemented for Indonesia just a week after the Singaporean Ministry of Health has announced the implementation of measures to detect and manage mpox cases. All travellers to Singapore are required to report mpox-related symptoms and their travel history through the SG Arrival Card. Medical practitioners will be notified of all suspected mpox cases. Travelers can then be isolated in a hospital, so that they can be further assessed and tested for mpox.
Many travelers are now painfully reminded of the Covid-19 pandemic that caused and are hoping that lockdowns and related travel restrictions will not become part of the MPOX precautionary measures.

What is Monkeypox?

Monkeypox is a rare but serious viral infection, mostly found in Central and West Africa. Lately, it’s been making headlines because of outbreaks in places where it usually doesn’t occur. The virus behind monkeypox is related to the one that causes smallpox, but the symptoms are generally milder and the risk of death is lower.

How Does it Spread?

The monkeypox virus spreads through direct contact with the blood, bodily fluids, or skin sores of infected animals, like rodents or monkeys. You can get it if you’re bitten, scratched, or handle bushmeat (meat from wild animals). Once the virus jumps to humans, it can also spread from person to person through close contact, respiratory droplets (like from coughs or sneezes), or by touching contaminated items, such as bedding or clothing.

What Are the Symptoms?

Monkeypox usually starts with a fever, along with chills and muscle aches. After one to three days, a rash appears—usually starting on the face and then spreading to other parts of the body, including the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. The rash begins as flat red spots, which turn into raised bumps, then blisters, and eventually scabs. The rash follows a clear pattern and can take about 10 days to crust over, with full recovery taking around three weeks.

Other common symptoms include headaches, swollen lymph nodes, and feeling very tired. A person with monkeypox can spread the virus from the time they get a fever until the skin sores have completely healed.

Marriott International in Malaysia releases song & music video in a first-ever campaign in Malaysia

The campaign started as a spirited songwriting competition for the associates of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of hotels and resorts in Malaysia, inspired by Marriott’s service culture and its seven hospitality principles of Warmth and Welcome, Attentiveness, Efficiency, Empathy, Communication, Flexibility and Consistency. Amidst an impressive array of over 35 entries, Fairfield by Marriott Bintulu Paragon emerged as the winner and was featured in the “Kumandang” song and music video with Alif Satar & The Locos.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – 10 May 2024 – Marriott International in Malaysia launched “Kumandang”, a first-of-its-kind collaboration with renowned Malaysian artiste Alif Satar & The Locos to showcase Marriott’s hospitality excellence through the power of music.

The launch ceremony, supported by Global Payments, was hosted by Ramesh Jackson, Area Vice President for Indonesia & Malaysia, Marriott International and graced by Manoharan Periasamy, Director-General for Tourism Malaysia, along with Alif Satar and The Locos – Efry Arwis, Faliq Auri, and Tam Cobain. Among the other notable attendees were Robin Rangel, Country Manager of Global Payments; George Varughese, Multi-Property Vice President of Putrajaya & Greater KL, Marriott International; and Sabrina Abdullah, Country Director of Human Resources, Marriott International.

“We have been doing business here in Malaysia since 1996, a time when Malaysian hospitality was at its peak and renowned world over. We were known for going above and beyond to serve our guests. And everything we did was from the heart, with a great sense of pride and enthusiasm…and always, always with a smile,” said Ramesh Jackson, Area Vice President, Indonesia & Malaysia, Marriott International.

“We needed to be reminded of the qualities that made us who we are in the first place and recommit to the values that define us. In simpler words, we want to be the best and to look after our guests as they truly deserve. Malaysia welcomed almost 6 million foreign tourist arrivals into Q1 this year, a growth of 32.5% compared to last year. In 2025, 32 million tourists are forecasted to arrive, spurred by Malaysia’s chairmanship of ASEAN that will be held that year. Now, more than ever, it’s crucial to rekindle the spirit of Malaysian hospitality and this collaboration exemplifies our hotels and resorts’ ongoing commitment to exceeding guest expectations, fostering deep connections, and championing hospitality excellence,”

Experience the harmony of ‘Kumandang’ by viewing the music video on YouTube titled “Kumandang X Alif Satar & The Locos.”

#MarriottBonvoy #MarriottInternational #MarriottKumandang #MYKumandang

“Kumandang” will be followed by Marriott International’s upcoming employer branding initiative, Marriott Bonvoy Be Bus campaign very soon. This is also a first for Malaysia as Marriott International embarks on a nationwide roadshow to bring employment opportunities to potential talents.

Bali, Badung, December, 2023

Starting December 2023, four major airlines – Xiamen Airlines, Vistara, IndiGo, and Etihad Airways – are increasing their flight services to Denpasar, Bali.

This expansion represents a significant boost in international access to the renowned Island of the Gods.

Bali Welcomes More International Flights

Xiamen Airlines is set to add more direct flights from China, while Vistara and IndiGo are also increasing their services, with more details expected soon. Etihad Airways, based in the United Arab Emirates, is also set to increase its presence on Bali’s weekly flight schedule.
 
The increase in flight availability, particularly from China and India, marks a milestone in making Bali more accessible to tourists worldwide. Bali Airport already handles a staggering 65,000 passengers daily across 400 aircraft movements. This expansion is a testament to Bali’s enduring appeal and a strong market that continues to attract international airlines.
 
A Symbol of Growing Tourism and Cultural Connections
reliable visa application service
The launch of a daily service between New Delhi and Denpasar by Vistara on 1st December is particularly notable. It marks the first direct flight between Bali and India, a significant step in strengthening the cultural and tourism bonds between these two majority Hindu regions. This development has been eagerly anticipated and warmly welcomed by tourism leaders.
 
For Australian tourists, the journey to Bali has become more convenient. Batik Air’s new direct service from Adelaide to Bali and the upcoming Canberra-Bali flight in March 2024 means that travelers from eight Australian cities now have direct flight options.
 

Airport Developments

 
Bali’s airport is not just expanding its flight schedules; it is also scaling up its capacity. This includes accommodating the Airbus A380, the world’s largest commercial aircraft, which Emirates has been operating daily. The airport has made history as Indonesia’s first to land the Airbus A380, a testament to its growing status as a global travel hub.

Bali, November 20, 2023

In a recent strategic development, Indonesia’s Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno, emphasized the vital role of the Indonesian Recreational Parks Association (PUTRI) in enhancing the tourism potential of village destinations across Indonesia.

This initiative, aimed at boosting tourist interest, was announced during the inauguration of PUTRI Bali’s 2023-2026 leadership at the Badung Regent’s Office.

A Strategic Shift Towards Sustainable and Inclusive Tourism

Sandiaga Uno highlighted the unique strengths of these community-managed and tradition-rich village destinations. Their global recognition underlines their potential as key attractions, not just in Bali but throughout Indonesia.

“Village tourism has its own strength rooted in community and traditions, as it has received global recognition. Hence, these villages will become the prime attractions in our tourism, not just in Bali but across Indonesia,” Uno stated.

Moreover, Uno pointed out the central role of PUTRI in further developing Indonesia’s tourism potential. He urged the organization to actively participate in the development of village tourism, emphasizing the need to integrate these villages into the broader tourism framework.
