Poltekpar Bali and the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy took action to clean up waste on Kuta Beach, Bali.
The Ministry of Tourism, together with the Bali Tourism Polytechnic (Poltekpar Bali), took action to clean up the incoming waste at Kuta Beach, Badung Regency, in support of the sustainability of one of the prime tourist destinations on the Island of the Gods.
"Trash problems in coastal destinations require awareness and real actions from all parties, including the government, tourism managers, the community, and tourists," said Minister of Tourism, Widiyanti Putri Wardhana, at Kuta Beach, Badung Regency, Bali, on Saturday.
In this social activity called the "Ocean Waste Cleanup Action," initiated by the Ministry of Environment, Poltekpar Bali mobilized around 500 people, including its students.
She explained that this concrete action is one of the efforts to address the pile-up of incoming waste at beach tourist sites, which has recently caught the attention of both domestic and international tourists.
The Minister stated that the ocean waste cleanup action aligns with the launch of the clean tourism movement, which is one of the Ministry of Tourism's key programs for 2025.
She hopes that the involvement of the government and community components, including the academic community from Poltekpar Bali, will serve as an example of supporting clean tourist destinations in the country.
Meanwhile, the Director of Poltekpar Bali, Dr. Ida Bagus Putu Puja, M.Kes, added that the institution is committed to supporting the government's efforts in advancing tourism and preserving nature.
"As Balinese people, we are aware that tourism plays a crucial role in the economic sector, especially during this holiday season," he said.
Puja added that the institution strives to contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The social action to clean up incoming waste, he explained, is closely related to SDG Goal 14, which focuses on marine ecosystems, Goal 15 on terrestrial ecosystems, and Goal 17, which focuses on partnerships to achieve these goals.
He explained that by reducing incoming waste, particularly plastics, it is hoped that this will have a positive impact on marine ecosystems and help preserve terrestrial ecosystems through partnerships for waste management and cleanup efforts.
