Om Swastyastu

First of all, let’s express our gratitude to the God Almighty (Ida Sang Hyang
Widhi Wasa) for his blessings.

Friends, the tourism sector regionally, nationally to globally had experienced

a slump due to COVID-19. In 2023, revival of the Bali tourim activity happens
along with the decreasing of COVID-19 virus transmission and recently, the
condition enters into transitional period from pandemic to endemic. We
must conduct the change and adaptation hopefully, so as the condition will
be better in future.

Friends, every year , the Bali Provincial Government through Tourism Office
compiles tourism and cultural events , MICE, sport tourism which spreads in
the regencies/city. We arrange “ Bali Calendar of Events 2023 “ aims to
provide information as well as references about events will be held in 2023.
Although, COVID-19 Virus transmission has decreased, the implementation
of health protocol must be concern. Events will be held based on condition

Finally, we convey the appreciation and gratitude for all partners who assists
