CANGGU, Bali (BPN) – With the theme “Denoting the Beauty of Endek,” Citadines Berawa Beach Bali celebrated its second anniversary on Friday, February 10, 2023, by holding a number of activities that highlighted the sustainability and preservation of Endek, the Balinese traditional hand-woven fabric that has been a part of the Balinese people for generations.
Citadines’ “Denoting the Beauty of Endek” campaign also supports local artists and craftsmen in their efforts to preserve Balinese culture, embrace MSMEs, and educate visitors about Balinese culture in the hopes that this will aid in the preservation of Balinese culture and the livelihood of traditional artisans.
In order for guests to directly observe the traditional processes or purchases, the hotel also included Endek weavers, wood sculptors, and Balinese painters in the lobby area.
Activities to clean up the beach with eco-friendly equipment were added to the sequence of events.
The event was concluded by awarding travel agents who have worked together and developed positive relationships with Citadines Berawa Beach Bali.
The General Manager of Citadines Berawa Beach Bali, Bogank Serpiyadi, expressed his happiness at the opportunity to mark the hotel’s second anniversary with community and environmental-friendly events.
“We also distribute food packages to 100 families in need in Tibubeneng Village. In addition, 200 Banggai Cardinalfish are released at Berawa Beach involving the media, local community, and all Citadines Berawa Beach Bali staff,” he said on Friday.
According to Bogank, the Banggai Cardinalfish is an endangered species and a protected species due to harm to its microhabitat.
This activity helps the local community maintain Berawa Beach’s cleanliness while also supporting the government’s commitment to protecting the environment and biological resources.
On this occasion, Citadines Berawa Beach Bali, which is a part of The Ascott Limited (Ascott), also earned an EDGE certificate from the Green Building Council Indonesia.
This property saves resources by reducing 24 percent of energy, 23 percent of water, and 40 percent of energy embedded in the material.
