Marking International Plastic Bag Free Day, ten Ascott properties across Bali join forces to expand their reusable bag initiative, encouraging sustainable habits and a better Bali through Ascott Cares.
BALI – DETEKSIPOST.COM – Bali, Indonesia, 3 July 2026 – Ascott Bali Area comes together for the second edition of BAG! BAG! BAG (read as: Bagi Bagi BAG), held in celebration of International Plastic Bag Free Day to encourage local communities to reduce single-use plastic through simple, everyday action. The initiative is part of Ascott CARES, The Ascott Limited’s sustainability program that champions environmental responsibility, community engagement, and responsible hospitality. As part of the initiative, associates from participating properties distributed reusable tote bags to shoppers and vendors at Pasar Kreneng, Denpasar. The initiative supports International Plastic Bag Free Day, a global observance that raises awareness of the environmental impact of single-use plastic bags while encouraging more sustainable alternatives.
BAG! BAG! BAG aims to inspire simple actions that create meaningful impact. #EveryBagCounts reflects the belief that choosing a reusable bag for everyday shopping is a small action that can collectively contribute to reducing plastic waste while fostering more sustainable habits within the community.
Following the positive response to the inaugural BAG! BAG! BAG campaign at Pasar Badung in 2025, this year’s initiative expands its impact by increasing the number of reusable tote bags distributed. The campaign reflects Ascott Bali Area’s continued commitment to responsible hospitality by working hand in hand with local communities and encouraging sustainable practices beyond its properties.

“At Ascott, sustainability is most meaningful when it becomes part of everyday life. Through Ascott CARES, BAG! BAG! BAG is one of the many ways we translate that commitment into action alongside the communities we serve. By coming together across our Bali properties, we hope to inspire more people to embrace reusable alternatives and demonstrate that even the simplest actions, when taken collectively, can create a lasting positive impact,” said Patrick Legrand, General Manager Citadines Berawa Beach Bali & Area General Manager Bali & East Indonesia, The Ascott Limited.
Bringing together Harris Hotel Kuta Tuban, Harris Hotel Seminyak, Harris Hotel & Residences Riverview Kuta, Harris Hotel & Residences Sunset Road, Harris Hotel & Conventions Denpasar, Fox Hotel Jimbaran Beach Bali, Yello Hotel Kuta Beachwalk Bali, Citadines Berawa Beach Bali, Maison Aurelia Sanur by Preference Hotels, and Pop! Hotel Kuta Beach Bali, BAG! BAG! BAG reflects the shared commitment of Ascott Bali Area to creating a positive impact beyond the hotel walls. Rooted in the spirit of Ascott CARES, the initiative demonstrates how collaboration can encourage more sustainable everyday habits while strengthening connections with local communities.

Looking ahead, Ascott Bali Area aims to continue growing BAG! BAG! BAG, reaching more communities across Bali and inspiring greater participation in reducing single-use plastic. By empowering simple, everyday choices, the initiative aspires to contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable Bali for generations to come.
