“If we do not have a major activity to attract tourism, Bali’s hospitality industry will slow down and visitors will opt to visit other destinations,” claims Chairman of Sanur Village Festival, Ida Bagus Gede Sidharta Putra, well known as Gusde. “I hope these efforts are more than just celebrations bus also with consideration culture, environment, cleanliness and order which is an important part of creating and guarding a quality destination.

From the above activities that involve community and government as well as tourism stakeholders, show that SVF has perfectly facilitated the tourism components. Dasa Warsa SVF wishes to reflect, not necessarily step back, but to take another look at the many dimensions and direction that can be developed, while still having as basis on the values of “the new spirit of heritage”.
