A major international conference, the World Water Forum, will be held in Bali in May 2024. The event is expected to welcome 44 heads of state and their delegations, with over 50,000 participants discussing various water-related issues, including water security, disaster reduction, governance, financing, and innovation.
This grand event is bound to have some impact on the local area, such as airport and road traffic, hotel room demand, etc. However, the organizers will strive to ensure the smooth running of the conference while integrating local cultural wisdom, such as leading delegations to visit the irrigation systems and rice fields in Jatiluwih.
Water resources are crucial for tourist destinations like Bali, with issues involving local water resource management and marine plastic pollution. It is hoped that this conference will bring new strategies for global water resource management.
The conference will be held from May 18th to May 24th. If you want to avoid traffic controls and the crowds of attendees, it is recommended to avoid the conference dates and the days immediately before and after.
