Backed by key industry bodies — Bali Tourism and Investment Chamber (BTIC) for business compliance and responsible development, alongside Bali Restaurant & Café Association (BRCA) and BHC (Bali HoReCa Club) — the forum connects working hospitality leaders to share what actually works on the ground, and to promote legal, compliant ways to operate in Bali.
