Bamboo has great potential as a substitute for wood and provides significant ecological benefits. Indonesia, including the island of Bali, is one of the world's largest bamboo producers. Bamboo plays an integral role in Balinese culture and daily life, serving as a construction material, handicraft resource, and symbol of spirituality. Despite its immense potential, the utilization of bamboo is still limited and not fully optimized for sustainable development. Lack of awareness, knowledge, and investment in the bamboo sector pose challenges that need to be addressed. The Bangli District, located in the Bangli Regency of Bali, has the largest bamboo forest area on the island and holds great potential for bamboo artisans. However, the potential of bamboo in the Bangli District is often overlooked and underutilized in sustainable development. Therefore, the Bali Bamboo Education and Tourism Facility in the Bangli District is designed as a solution to connect bamboo with Balinese culture, combining tradition with innovation, providing training and collaborative programs, and serving as a platform for research and collaboration. This approach has made a significant contribution in maximizing the potential of bamboo and preserving its sustainability within the context of Balinese culture in the Bangli District.
