Bindu Village is located ten minutes away from the international tourism hub of Ubud in Bali. Pak Gusti and Pak Tri represent the partners of WOW Bali in this project with their land offering of five hectares. WOW Bali aims to exemplify full sustainable dynamic collaboration thru this project. How?

 

What motivated the partners to collaborate with WOW Bali is the need to preserve the land amidst the ongoing land conversion in Bali. WOW Bali, on the one hand, sees this opportunity to practice "holistic participation" in creating a win-win-win solution for all stakeholders concerned. Pak Gusti, Pak Tri and Pak Hai Dai envision the five-hectare area to become a fully sustainable five-star eco-resort, minus the monolithic structure and heavy ecological footprint that characterize most high-end tourist accommodations nowadays.

 

To accomplish this, WOW Bali brings all other sustainable dynamics partners into the picture. Permaculturists will come in to help the local farmers transform the current monocrop land into an organic polyculture area. The Mansion will help put up high quality hospitality services for the eco-village. The WOW House will serve as the model for accommodation for tourists. Manpower for the eco-village management will be taken care of by the local university.

 

The partners, by themselves, see the detriments of mainstream development onto Balinese land and people; thus, their advocacy to return to cultural and natural aesthetics through this collaboration initiative. Pak Tri himself is a practitioner of Slow Food (opposite the fast food culture), and has been supportive of WOW Bali's efforts since the very beginning.
