Plataran Announces Ecotourism Festivals, in Celebration of Indonesia’s Treasures

Xtravaganza is one of Plataran Indonesia’s events highlighting "culture, music and environment", held regularly throughout the year at Plataran hotels and resorts across Indonesia. The most recent iteration of the festival was Plataran Bromo Marathon Xtravaganza 2019.

This November, Plataran L’Harmonie will host Plataran Menjangan Xtravaganza 2019 at West Bali National Park. In keeping with Plataran’s reputation as "A True Indonesian Icon" and in line with the group’s commitment to supporting local communities, preserving the natural environment and conserving wildlife, this iconic annual celebration sets out to increase public awareness of coastal and marine ecosystems. Focusing on engaging youth demographics in conservation, Menjangan Xtravaganza 2019 will operate under the tagline: "Millennials for the Forest".

Supported by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, as well as West Bali National Park authorities, the event will focus on three main aspects: ecotourism & sustainability; culture & entertainment; and local entrepreneurship. These core concepts come together to create a schedule of captivating music and entertainment in the forest, featuring performances by artists such as Jamie Aditya (Indonesian-Australian VJ and Musician), Balawan (Indonesian guitarist and songwriter), Dialog Dini Hari (Indonesian folk band), Astrid Sulaiman (pianist & vice chairman of Ubud Village Jazz Festival) and many more.

In addition, Menjangan Xtravaganza 2019 will feature a range of conservation and eco-tourism activities that showcase the natural beauty and cultural diversity of the region. There will be an endemic tree planting project, coral planting and a Bali starling release program, along with an art and culture festival, a culinary festival and cooking academy, a mural festival, kite-making workshop and festival, and an outdoor Zumba class.

The festival will be held Saturday, 2nd November 2019 at Plataran L’Harmonie - West Bali National Park. Around 1,500 people are expected to attend the event, which will be focused mainly around the Octagon Ocean Club and Deer Sanctuary area. With a packed and varied schedule, the events and festivities will continue throughout the day and long into the evening, bringing millennials together for the good of the forest and the environment.
