T Bali Tourism Development Corporation (BTDC) is once again organizing the annual Nusa Dua Fiesta with activities centering on Peninsula Island from Nov. 2 through Nov. 5.

The fiesta, which bears the theme “Segara Languan” or “Enjoying the Mesmerizing Beauty of the Sea”, is scheduled to present dance, music, exhibitions and sports activities.

Ida Bagus Abdi, chairman of the organizing committee, told journalists that the fiesta was aimed at promoting Bali and the Nusa Dua resort complex in particular.

“By applying the theme, we want to encourage people to pay attention to the preservation of coastal areas and the sea,” he said. It is also intended to support sustainable marine tourism.

Bagus Abdi said that during the event, the committee would also hold the official opening of the 17-meter Kresna and Arjuna statues, the new mascots of Nusa Dua.

Together with the Goethe-Institute, BTDC will also present a special children’s program on conservation featuring a Science Film Festival movie titled Water aimed at educating local children, while capturing their interest. Local schools are being invited to special screenings of the film.
