THE ORGANIZING committee of the 10th World Water Forum in Bali has provided a tour agenda for forum delegates on May 23 and 25.
“More and more people are registering. The most favorite is Jatiluwih,” said Usman Kansong, Director General of Public Communication Information of the Ministry of Communication and Information, in Nusa Dua, Bali. Delegates keen on taking part in the tour can register at worldwaterforum.org.
Participants can choose to visit one of the tourist destinations in Bali, including the Jatiluwih terraced rice fields, Bedugul Botanical Garden, Monkey Forest, Ubud Cultural Village, and Lake Batur. Free tours are available on a first-come, first-served basis, with a limited quota of 50 people on May 23-24 and 100 people on May 25.
The committee provides vehicles at the departure point, which is in the lobby of BNDCC 1, Nusa Dua, Badung District, at 6:00–7:00 a.m. local time. The tourist visits are expected to introduce the tourism potential as well as promote Bali tourism, especially those directly related to discussions on water.
