Following the Asian tsunami the Indonsesian Ministry of Culture and Tourism has partnered with the Bali Hotels Association (BHA) to improve tsunami readiness amongst hotels. The initiative is supported by the German Centrum für Migration und Entwicklung (CIM).

They have developed the ‘Tsunami Ready Toolkit’ consisting of fact sheets, background information and best practice examples. BHA hotels, having prepared for tsunamis, have also agreed to open their doors to the local community for emergency shelter.
