The 2023 edition of the Bali Hotel & Branded Residences Report by Horwath HTL provides a comprehensive analysis of the market dynamics, performance metrics, and outlook for Bali’s hospitality sector. This summary highlights key findings from the report. 2022 marked a significant recovery for Bali’s tourism industry as travel restrictions were eased and eventually removed. A quarantine-free trial period and Visa on Arrival (VOA) program initiated in March 2022, expanded to 86 countries by September 2022, fueled this recovery. Foreign arrivals surged, particularly from May onwards, with December 2022 numbers only 32% below pre-pandemic levels. Domestic tourism remained resilient throughout the pandemic, providing a crucial lifeline.

The “Asia Pacific Sustainability Trends 2021” report offers an in-depth look at sustainability practices within the hotel industry across 15 countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Compiled from data provided by 2,356 hotels, this sixth annual report examines the evolution of energy and water usage, cost trends, and the adoption of sustainability initiatives, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Greenview and Horwath HTL are pleased to present the annual Asia Pacific Sustainability Trends 2022 report, which is published for the seventh consecutive year. This report presents results of the 2022 Horwath HTL Asia Pacific Hotel Industry survey. For this year’s report, a total of 2,586 hotels across 15 countries participated by contributing information about their uptake in sustainability practices as well as utility data from 2021 calendar year. The data is compared against a 2019 baseline to provide insight into the average changes in energy and water consumption and costs by country and service type pre and post pandemic. Additionally, sustainability practices undertaken by hotels were also analyzed to understand implementation status at the country level. Continuous spreading of awareness and scaling of solutions globally will enable further advancement in this region. We are proud to support the industry’s effort to benchmark best practices in sustainability, with the results of this report contributing towards publicly available industry-wide initiatives for hoteliers to understand their properties’ sustainability standing: the Cornell Hotel Sustainability Benchmarking study, Green Lodging Trends Report and Greenview Hotel Footprinting Tool. We would like to acknowledge and thank the Honorary Advisory Board for the Horwath HTL annual hotel industry surveys and the supporting Country Hotel Associations for their participation and strong support.

The “Asia Pacific Sustainability Trends 2020” report provides a detailed examination of sustainability practices in the hotel industry across 16 countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the report reflects ongoing efforts to improve sustainability across various aspects of hotel operations, including energy usage, water conservation, and the adoption of eco-friendly practices.

The year 2020 was particularly challenging for Bali’s hotel and tourism industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While international arrivals plummeted, the domestic market provided a vital lifeline for the island’s tourism sector. The outlook for recovery has improved with the rollout of vaccinations beginning in February 2021.
