“To date, there are seven hotels for VVIP guests and three hotels for VIP guests and delegates,” said PT Indonesian Tourism Development (ITDC) General Manager I Made Agus Dwiatmika in Nusa Dua, Badung Regency, Bali, recently.
All confirmed hotels, he continued, are improving the readiness of their facilities and security systems, including scanning or X-ray machines and security inspection portals or doors.
The Nusa Dua area has a total of approximately 5,485 rooms in 22 five-star hotels and luxury villas, with meeting facilities that can accommodate approximately 21,000 delegates.
Apart from the hotels, the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center (BNDCC) and the Bali International Convention Center (BICC), the main venues for the 10th World Water Forum, also have dedicated meeting facilities.
He added that the BICC will be the venue for the Heads of State meeting scheduled for May 20-21, 2024. The event will be followed by a meeting of those responsible for political, thematic and regional processes, as well as a bilateral meeting of several heads of state on water issues.
