The spirit of the 46th Dies Natalis is embodied in the mascot 'Si Pico,' symbolizing the magnificence and wisdom of knowledge, where it is hoped that the 46th Dies Natalis will reflect wisdom in its mature age. The spirit of collaboration is demonstrated through a series of activities involving the entire academic community of Bali Tourism Polytechnic, including pre-Dies Natalis activities such as blood donation drives, Joyful Fridays, and internal competitions encompassing academic, cultural, and sports competitions, culminating in the peak of the 46th Dies Natalis on Thursday, March 28, 2024.

Furthermore, the increasing number of doctoral degrees obtained by Bali Tourism Polytechnic faculty and the improved SINTA scores demonstrate the productivity of faculty members in scholarly works beneficial to the academic community and the wider society.
