Experience Bali:
The Ultimate Global Event Destination

Warm greetings,

It is a pleasure to extend my sincere welcome to the global business events community, including international associations, corporate leaders, professional conference organisers, destination management companies, incentive travel specialists, and event professionals who continue to contribute to the advancement of the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) industry worldwide.

Bali occupies a unique position within the global business events landscape. While many destinations offer world-class venues and modern infrastructure, Bali combines these essential elements with something far more distinctive: a living culture, extraordinary natural beauty, genuine hospitality, and authentic experiences that create meaningful connections and lasting memories for delegates and organisers alike.

The international recognition of Bali as a leading MICE destination continues to grow. The island’s strong performance in hosting international association meetings reflects not only its capability and professionalism, but also the confidence placed in Bali by the global business events community.

As the industry evolves, so too must our approach to destination development. Today, the success of an event is measured not solely by attendance figures or economic outcomes, but increasingly by its contribution to environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and long-term community impact. Sustainability is no longer an option; it is becoming the new global standard for business events.

In this regard, Bali is uniquely positioned to lead. Through its commitment to sustainable tourism, responsible destination management, and community engagement, Bali offers organisers the opportunity to deliver events that generate meaningful outcomes while contributing positively to the destination and its people.

The Bali Convention and Exhibition Bureau (BaliCEB) plays an important role in advancing this vision. By strengthening international partnerships, supporting event bidding initiatives, and promoting best practices across the industry, BaliCEB serves as a valuable bridge between Bali and the global business events community.

We invite event planners, associations, corporations, and industry partners from around the world to explore the opportunities that Bali has to offer. Whether hosting a convention, incentive programme, executive retreat, exhibition, or global summit, Bali provides an inspiring environment where business objectives, cultural enrichment, and sustainable development can come together seamlessly.

On behalf of the Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Indonesia, I would like to express our appreciation to all international partners who continue to place their trust in Bali and Indonesia. We look forward to welcoming you and working together to create impactful, innovative, and sustainable events that leave a lasting legacy for all stakeholders.

Together, let us shape the future of business events through collaboration, innovation, and sustainability.

Om Swastiastu,

It is my great pleasure to extend a warm welcome to the global Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) community, including international associations, corporations, event organisers, industry partners, and business events professionals from around the world who choose Bali as part of their journey and success.

Bali has long been recognised as one of the world’s leading tourism destinations, renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and the genuine hospitality of its people. Beyond leisure tourism, Bali has also evolved into a premier destination for international business events, successfully hosting a wide range of conferences, conventions, exhibitions, and high-profile global gatherings.

The success of Bali as a host destination has been built upon strong collaboration among government, industry stakeholders, local communities, and our tourism partners. In this regard, the Bali Convention and Exhibition Bureau (BaliCEB) plays a strategic role in strengthening Bali’s position as a competitive, innovative, and sustainable business events destination.

I encourage BaliCEB to continue working with clear objectives, measurable outcomes, and strong international engagement to enhance destination competitiveness, expand global partnerships, and create greater opportunities for Bali to host world-class international events.

The development of the MICE industry must be viewed as an integral part of Bali’s broader tourism strategy. It is not solely about attracting events; it is about ensuring that every event generates positive economic, social, cultural, and environmental benefits for the people of Bali.

In line with Bali’s development vision, we remain firmly committed to advancing high-quality and sustainable tourism founded upon Balinese cultural values, environmental stewardship, community well-being, and meaningful visitor experiences.

I firmly believe that Bali possesses all the essential elements required to become one of the world’s most distinguished business events destinations. With continually improving infrastructure, highly professional human resources, a vibrant living culture, and a strong commitment to sustainability, Bali will continue to be the destination of choice for international meetings, conferences, incentives, and exhibitions.

On behalf of the Provincial Government of Bali, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all our partners, associations, corporations, and event organisers for their trust and confidence in Bali. We warmly invite you to collaborate, innovate, and grow with us on the Island of the Gods.

May Bali Convention and Exhibition Bureau continue to serve as a leading force in promoting Bali as a world-class business events destination that is culturally rich, professionally managed, and sustainably developed.

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Om.

Welcome to Bali – where world-class business events meet culture, inspiration, and meaningful experiences.

As Chairman of the Bali Convention and Exhibition Bureau (BaliCEB), it is my pleasure to extend a warm invitation to the global business events community to discover the unique opportunities that Bali offers for meetings, incentives, conferences, conventions, exhibitions, and corporate gatherings.

Around the world, many destinations offer modern convention centres, quality hotels, and professional event services. Bali offers all of these—but also something far more distinctive. Bali is a destination where business objectives can be achieved while participants experience a vibrant living culture, genuine hospitality, breathtaking landscapes, and a sense of connection that extends far beyond the meeting room.

What makes Bali truly exceptional is its ability to transform an event into an unforgettable experience. Delegates leave not only with new knowledge, business opportunities, and professional networks, but also with lasting memories and a deeper appreciation of the destination and its people.

Our credentials as a global business events destination are well established. Bali has successfully hosted some of the world’s most significant international gatherings, including APEC, the IMF–World Bank Annual Meetings, the G20 Leaders’ Summit, and the World Water Forum. These achievements demonstrate Bali’s capability, professionalism, security, and readiness to deliver events of the highest international standards.

Today, Bali continues to strengthen its position as a leading destination for association congresses, corporate meetings, incentive travel programmes, executive retreats, exhibitions, and global forums. Supported by world-class hospitality infrastructure, modern meeting facilities, excellent air connectivity, and a highly experienced network of event professionals, Bali provides organisers with the confidence and support required to deliver successful events.

At BaliCEB, our vision extends beyond attracting events. We are committed to positioning Bali as a global business events destination built upon culture, sustainability, innovation, and community benefit. We believe that successful events should create lasting value not only for organisers and delegates, but also for local communities, small businesses, creative industries, and future generations.

As international organisations and corporations increasingly seek destinations that align with sustainability goals and meaningful legacy outcomes, Bali offers a compelling proposition. Here, events can inspire positive change while contributing to environmental stewardship, cultural preservation, and inclusive economic growth.

Over the coming years, BaliCEB will continue expanding its international partnerships, strengthening our global presence, supporting strategic bidding initiatives, and enhancing service excellence across the destination. Our goal is simple: to make Bali one of the world’s most preferred and trusted destinations for business events.

Whether you are planning an international congress, a regional convention, a corporate leadership summit, an incentive programme, or a specialised industry exhibition, we invite you to consider Bali as your next destination.

Our team stands ready to work alongside you to create events that are impactful, memorable, and successful. We look forward to welcoming you to Bali—where business meets inspiration.
