The team from AlamKulkul caried out its annual Sales Blitz by visiting local travel agents throughout the month of December 2010. It was an opportunity to deliver Christmas hampers to each agency as a show of appreciation for their ongoing support.

Alam Kulkul Boutique Resort celebrated Idul Adha, the islamic day of sacrifice, on 17th November 2010 by donating livestock to selected orphanages and religios foundations throughout Bali. This charitable act ensured that children as well as impoverished members of the Islamic community all received a portion of fresh meat to commemorate this holy day.

AlamKulKul Boutique Resort recently sponsored a local charity golfing event hosted by the R.O.L.E. Foundation by providing a prize for its grand auction. The ‘Swing For The Poor’ Charity Tournament took place on 5th December 2010 to raise funds for its eco-learning programme.

R.O.L.E Foundation is a non-profit organisation with a mission to educate, re-skill and create alternate eco-friendly jobs and business opportunities for the poor and disadvantaged. R.O.L.E. has made its base at Nusa Dua and plans to grow its facility organically as funds become available.

The quality of life for present and future generations is incontrovertibly linked to the health of the environment and the controlled management of natural resources. Therefore, R.O.L.E aims to play a key role in the understanding and management of natural resources, the application of the principles of sustainable development, and the community’s respect for the environment through education, research and public service.

Alam KulKul’s ‘Green Team’ recently met with senior local government representatives to receive an appreciation certificate for its ongoing tree planting activities. For the past 10 years the resort has taken the initiative to address the effects of rapid development by‘re-greening’ the island.

This included adopting a parcel of land along the banks of the Tukad Mati River in Kuta. Employees consequently set about replenishing the landscape with a structured plating programme. As a result this area is now flourishing with 7500 native trees and a riverside eco-system is slowly being established.

The certificate was officially presented by the Bandung Regent, Mr. Anak Agung Gede Agung. He expressed his gratitude to the resort for taking environmental responsibility into its own hands. AlamKulKul is a shining example of what a relatively small property of just 150 employees can achieve.

Alam KulKul Boutique Resort would like to announce that the health and safety of in-house guests is always our foremost concern. Therefore, all necessary precautions are taken to ensure that the resort is maintained to the highest international standards. This involves regular testing of our facilities including the swimming pools, water supply and air-conditioning units.

Our most recent batch of testing dated 28th October 2010 concluded that samples from the pool and air-conditioning system were negative for any harmful viruses including legionella, which can result in Legionnaires disease. These tests were carried out by the Labratorium Kesehatan Masyarakyat (Community Health Lab) at Udayana University based on Australian and New Zealand standard testing methods (1998).

It is most unfortunate that a number of Australian tourists have returned home from Bali with suspected Legionnaires disease. However, AlamKulKul would like to reiterate that regular testing indicates that our facilities fully comply with international health standards and that no trace of this virus has been found at the property.
