Signed at Undisan Tourism Village on 21 May 2026, the agreement establishes a long-term collaboration focused on community-based tourism, cultural preservation, and meaningful travel experiences in Bali, while supporting the sustainable growth of the local community. Through curated programs at Undisan Tourism Village, guests will have the opportunity to experience Balinese traditions, connect with local communities, and explore the island’s natural surroundings in a more immersive way. 

"At Marriott, we believe travel is most meaningful when it connects you to the things you're truly passionate about wherever in the world you are. Our collaboration with Undisan Tourism Village brings that belief to life. It opens the door to a side of Bali that is deeply authentic and genuinely rooted in local culture. We are delighted to partner with Undisan Tourism Village and to offer our members an experience that goes far beyond a hotel stay." – Sander Looijen, Area General Manager, Participating Marriott Bonvoy Hotels and Resorts in Bali. 

Located in Bangli Regency, Undisan Tourism Village is known for its strong commitment to the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, which emphasizes harmony between people, nature, and spirituality. Through programs such as “A Journey into Three Harmonies,” visitors are invited to experience the richness of Balinese traditions, daily life, and natural surroundings in a responsible and engaging way. 

"This collaboration is a key moment for Undisan Village. It means our community can share what makes this place truly special with travelers from around the world, while building a sustainable livelihood doing so. We cannot wait to welcome Marriott guests and show them the real heart of Bali." - I Putu Winastra, S.AB, M.A.P, Pioneer of Undisan Tourism Village. 

To support this initiative, Marriott Business Council Bali will promote Undisan Tourism Village across the hotels in Bali, from concierge recommendations, guest engagement, and internal communication channels. Beyond promotion, Marriott Business Council Bali will run periodic knowledge-sharing sessions for the Undisan Village community, focusing on tourism service standards, guest experience, and destination development to help build local capacity without compromising the village’s cultural authenticity. Undisan Tourism Village will provide dedicated programs for Marriott guests, including guided activities, transportation, and curated local encounters.
 

This collaboration with Undisan Tourism Village reflects Marriott International’s ongoing commitment to responsible tourism and community empowerment, aligning with its Serve 360 commitments towards sustainability and creating positive impact in the community it operates.
