Access Indonesia: Boosting Bali's Inclusive Tourism and Investment Appeal
The tourism industry in Bali has introduced Access Indonesia as a new hotel booking application which serves disabled travelers. The initiative promotes accessibility while demonstrating an industry-wide transformation which property investors and lifestyle buyers in Bali should monitor.
The new platform Access Indonesia enables users to find accessible accommodations through its government-backed economic cooperation program Katalis and its partnership with Cross Hotels & Resorts and Bali Buddies travel platform. The platform enables hotels to present their facilities for disabled guests at arrival and parking and dining and guest facilities which simplifies the process of planning accessible trips.
The Australian market which drives Bali's tourism sector includes 700,000 people who use mobility aids according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. The Access Indonesia platform enables hotels to showcase their accessible features which will attract more diverse travelers who need barrier-free accommodations thus maintaining high occupancy rates for quality hotels.
The application provides advantages to disabled travelers while simultaneously serving families with children and senior visitors and international visitors who want accessible and convenient travel options. The expanded accessibility features in Bali create new opportunities for property owners to increase their rental income and occupancy rates because the destination becomes more attractive to visitors.
Paul Bartlett from Katalis explains that this innovative solution delivers social benefits while creating business opportunities. The Bali property market requires investors to understand that accessible properties which serve diverse markets will generate better long-term investment returns.
