USA DUA: Hotel and restaurant owners in Nusa Dua from the Bali Tourism Development Corporation (BTDC) will hold the annual art and culture event, Nusa Dua Fiesta, from Oct. 17 to 21.

BTDC president director I Made Mandra said Wednesday that the event would focus on promoting green tourism and offer coral reef restoration activities to help preserve marine ecosystems.

The coral reef restoration will take place 6 kilometers out to sea to restore damaged Nusa Dua marine ecosystems.
