MICE Fun in North Bali
Organising an event in Bali has more impact than other destinations, besides Bali as an internationally popular destination that can increase the prestige of an activity, Bali's position in the middle of the Indonesian archipelago is very strategic to be reached by all participants from various cities of origin. The obstacle that has not been resolved until now completely during the peak holiday season is : traffic jams! And it's definitely not cool if a cool event is disrupted by traffic jams, so let's try destinations in the North of Bali in the Buleleng Regency area to hold medium-scale events both indoor and outdoor.
Why Buleleng?
Initially, Buleleng in North Bali was known to be a bit far from Ngurah Rai Airport, but that is no longer an obstacle after the new short cut road that can finally cut travel time by 30-40 minutes. So with just 2 hours of driving with a very interesting scenery during the trip (crossing 3 lakes, hills, traditional villages, plantations and other natural beauty), visitors have arrived at the centre of Buleleng's main destination; Lovina! Lovina is very famous in the world because of the ancient history of the lives of Europeans there during the struggle to bring the name Lovina to be written in the international media since long ago.
What are the advantages of Lovina?
Besides Buleleng Regency is the only regency in Bali that has the longest beach destination from the western tip to the eastern tip of the island of Bali on the north side, only in this place tourists can directly see dolphins swimming in the open sea from a very close distance. Facilities providing tourism needs in destinations are increasingly modern and diverse. Not only lodging in the form of star hotels and luxury villas / resorts, luxury restaurants to nightclubs are also available, not to forget also modern recreational facilities and complete water tourism. And last but not least, Bali with its cultural excellence can also be enjoyed here because so many ancient traditions still exist in the villages around Lovina.
What are the Venue Options for MICE in Lovina and its Surroundings?
As a remoted destination, event organisers can choose from formal indoor and casual outdoor venues. Even the tendency to hold events in outdoor areas has become a trend after the last pandemic while still prioritising aspects of comfort. As experiences that have been carried out such as an international event entitled "Rural Tourism Development Workshop" which was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Villages of ASEAN member countries plus China, Japan and South Korea in Taro village - Bali (2022), ASEAN Summit 2023 at Labuan Bajo Waterfront - NTT, , it is not impossible that Lovina is the right choice for organising events on a medium scale both indoor and outdoor. For indoor venues we can get in several hotels in the Lovina area. Meanwhile, outdoor options are available in the eastern part of Tejakula area and also the western part in Pemuteran. Holding MICE at outdoor venues can create a unique and memorable atmosphere, even some psychologists recommend it as a stimulus in producing fresh, constructive and innovative thoughts.
