Tri Hita Karana is the life concept of Balinese community to accomplish secular and spiritual bliss through the harmonisation of the relationship between humans and God (parahyangan), humans and humans (pawongan), and humans and environment (palemahan). The awards were initiated in 2000 to recognise hospitality operators for adopting this local value in their operation. Four years later the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) endorsed the awards. The awards also gained further support when in 2010 the philosophy became part of the Bali Clean and Green roadmap.
Bali Dynasty Resort has implemented the Tri Hita Karana principles to its business practices and policy. In addition to great respect and contribution to the local culture and spiritual belief, Bali Dynasty Resort has been involved in a humanitarian project for the last 15 years with East Bali Poverty Project. The project has given hopes for a better future to hundreds of children and the community in Pengalusan, East Bali. On the environmental side, Bali Dynasty Resort is committed to continue to operate at a high environmental standard by using the earth check software and Green Globe Lite benchmarking to review and measure results. Bali Dynasty Resort successfully benchmarked against key environmental indicators using the Earthcheck tool including energy and water consumption, total waste production and community commitment.
