Bali Business Review (BBR): Turning Insight Into Impact

Hi, I’m Rama, HR Operations and Engagement at Bukit Vista. There’s something powerful that happens when a company dares to share what it’s learning—openly, consistently, and without pretense. That’s what we’re doing with Bali Business Review (BBR), a YouTube-based knowledge initiative crafted by the Marketing and Employee teams to empower our community of property owners, hospitality professionals, and future collaborators.

The Bali Business Review (BBR) is Bukit Vista’s flagship knowledge-sharing program on YouTube. It features market insights, field research, expert interviews, and company narratives designed to educate and elevate the conversations happening in Bali’s fast-evolving property and tourism sectors. BBR is our way of saying: we don’t just operate in this market—we study it, question it, and share what we find so everyone can grow smarter together.

It’s also where we open the curtains on the challenges facing our industry—like the current oversupply of rental properties—and invite meaningful discussions with both local and international voices. With new videos published regularly and topics ranging from pricing shifts, guest behavior, brand value, to revenue optimization, we’re making insight accessible to our partners and the broader public.

This initiative wouldn’t exist without the dedication of a few key figures. Nadia, our VP of Marketing, drives the editorial strategy and ensures the message remains valuable to our partners. We also owe much of BBR’s progress to the frontliners who consistently show up as the faces and voices of the program—Mr. Jing (CEO), Wayana (Co-Founder), Bella (Upper Management Revenue Manager), and Jason (Business Journalist).

The idea to bring an academic voice into BBR came from Furqon, our VP of Employee Experience and Culture, who envisioned the value of bridging industry practice with academic insight. Acting on that vision, I had the opportunity to personally invite Bu Sekar Utami Setiastuti, Ph.D., a respected academic from Universitas Gadjah Mada, to join one of our sessions. Her episode explored the comparative dynamics of tourism and investment between Bali and Lombok, offering nuanced insights on regional growth, infrastructure, and market behavior. The session has since become our most-viewed episode on the channel. If you haven’t seen it yet, you can watch it here.
