Hard Rock Hotel Bali has been recognized as a Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) certified hotel, becoming the second in Indonesia to acquire this certification.
The hotel uses energy-efficient lighting and appliances, a state-of-the-art water filtration plant to minimize the reliance on single-use plastic bottles and waste reduction through recycling, upcycling and composting. Hard Rock Bali also collaborates with various foundations in Bali focusing on areas such as financial support for medical assistance to the underprivileged, surplus food distribution, and reducing carbon footprints through regular mangrove planting with Wanasari Fishermen Group.
The hotel’s annual fundraising event, the Rock n’ Run Charity Fun Run 2024, will support the planting of over 3000 trees in Kintamani, Bangli, and Rendang village, Karangasem this year.
The Global Sustainable Tourism Council is a non-profit organization aims to establish and provide global guidelines for sustainable tourism practices. The GSTC-certified status is awarded to tourism businesses that demonstrate a strong commitment to social responsibility, environmental protection, cultural impacts and economic sustainability.
“Sustainability has always been an integral part of Hard Rock Hotel Bali’s identity,” said Shane Coates, General Manager. “This certification represents a notable accomplishment for our initiatives in adopting sustainable practices. We are confident that this globally recognized achievement will foster trust in guests at Hard Rock Hotel Bali when selecting their accommodation, allowing them to make informed choices and contribute to responsible tourism.”
