Abstract

Thousands of Ogoh-Ogoh (towering giant effigies) are paraded across Bali to welcome the arrival of the Saka New Year (Nyepi Day), which falls every March or April. This article examines the evolving aesthetics of these processions, tracing their shift from ritualistic giant figures meant to repel the destructive power of bhuta kala to contemporary hybrid mythic–popular forms that incorporate global pop-cultural icons and local socio-political characters. Employing qualitative methods such as visual ethnography, observation, and semiotic analysis, this study explores Ogoh-Ogoh production across Bali, where creative experimentation is especially vibrant. The findings reveal a significant aesthetic transformation driven by environmental regulations, competitive youth creativity, and the changing visual preferences of younger generations. Material innovations, including the use of LED lighting, have further intensified a performative orientation emphasizing spectacle and technical sophistication. Despite these shifts, ritual continuity endures, demonstrating that ogoh-ogoh remains a living, adaptive tradition in contemporary Balinese society.

Abstract

This article investigates the carbon footprints of tourists from various countries to inform Bali's sustainable tourism strategy, especially its environmental sustainability. Analysing data from the top 20 tourist-generating countries, the research employs a carbon footprint calculator to assess emissions associated with their flights. The findings categorise these countries into three groups based on their carbon emissions: low, medium, and high-carbon footprint markets. Countries with lower carbon footprints, particularly Southeast Asian ones, should be prioritised as target markets to promote sustainable tourism in Bali. Conversely, tourists from medium and high-carbon-footprint countries should be considered the less-preferred tourist market, and their number should be reduced through demarketing strategies. The article concludes with managerial implications and highlights research limitations, emphasising the need for ongoing efforts in sustainable tourism management.

Abstract

This study aims to estimate the survival rate of the accommodation industry in Bali during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis using a dataset comprising 3,378 accommodations in Bali. Two distinct survival analysis methodologies were employed: the Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests. This study will also employ a qualitative analysis to examine the cultural characteristics of accommodation business resilience in Bali. Based on the patterns revealed in this research, hotels in operation for the last 10 years will have a 70% survival rate, in contrast with hotels in operation for over 40 years which have a 25% survival rate. This is especially the case of hotels that remain in operation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The initial 15-year period of business operations is identified as a critical juncture. Moreover, a notable discrepancies in survival rates was found across groups defined by specific variables, including the number of rooms, business scale, business typology, and location. Local culture is also discovered to be a crucial factor that enhances business adaptability and community ties, providing resilience.
