History of jed

balinese tourism That protects and empowers bali

Jaringan Ekowisata Desa (JED – village ecotourism network) was launched in 2002 in response to modern tourism trends in Bali. It was designed and is owned by the communities of four Balinese villages – Kiadan Pelaga, Dukuh Sibetan, Tenganan Pegringsingan and Ceningan Island – with the administrative help of the Wisnu Foundation, one of Bali’s oldest environmental NGOs.

We are a collaboration of Balinese communities who care about the future of our people, culture and environment. Our trips connect you with locals who are excited to share Bali as they know and love it. Your trip helps local economies and gives back to environmental and historical preservation programs. The result is a unique chance for travelers like you to experience village life, see what Bali is all about, and leave a lasting impact.

our principles

  • We’re planned and managed by the community in each village
  • The funds generated through JED tourism activities support community development and environmental conservtion activities
  • We aim to strengthen transparent and democratic decision-making and cooperation in and between the villages
  • Our trips are designed to have minimal impact on the local environment
  • We aim to foster cross-cultural understanding through facilitating discussions between Balinese locals and outside visitors
