As part of its ongoing commitment to fostering a safe, healthy, and sustainable tourism environment, Grand Hyatt Bali, in collaboration with the Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC), fully supported the 2025 Mass Rabies Vaccination Launch, held on Tuesday (6/5) at Lapangan Mini of The Nusa Dua Management Office, Bali.

The event, initiated by Grand Hyatt Bali in commemoration of World Veterinary Day, aimed to prevent the transmission of rabies and support the sterilization of local animals in Bali as part of broader efforts to curb the spread of the disease. The initiative also seeks to address the growing population of stray animals, which not only pose a risk of spreading infectious diseases but are also vulnerable to abandonment, malnutrition, abuse, and other forms of neglect.

This program was the result of a collaborative effort involving the Provincial Government of Bali through the Agriculture and Food Security Agency, ITDC, elements of Forkopimda Badung and Forkopimca South Kuta, the Bali Branch of the Indonesian Veterinary Association (PDHI), the Bali Animal Welfare Association (BAWA), and Seva Bhuana.

The campaign focused on three core strategies:

• Mass vaccination of high-risk animals
• Sterilization programs to control animal populations
• Community education on rabies prevention and responsible pet ownership

During the event, 45 animals were vaccinated and 68 were sterilized, marking a significant step toward creating a healthier ecosystem for both residents and visitors.

“As one of Bali’s flagship resorts, we recognize our role not only in offering world-class hospitality, but also in fostering an environment where communities and guests feel safe and cared for,” said Simon Graham, Hotel Manager of Grand Hyatt Bali.

Grand Hyatt Bali, situated in the heart of The Nusa Dua enclave, remains steadfast in supporting meaningful initiatives that align with global standards of responsible tourism, community engagement, and environmental stewardship.
