WASH and Tourism in Mandalika, Lombok, Indonesia: Case Study Report

Engaging corporate actors for inclusive WASH services in workplaces and host communities, is focusing on the ways in which hotels can implement gender equity, disability and socially-inclusive (GEDSI) Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene at work (WASH-at-Work) programs in Fiji and Indonesia.

It is working to develop a value proposition that includes a country and context-specific understanding of why the sector should engage with WASH-at-Work, helpful guidance for WASH-at-Work programs in hotels, and policy briefs to enable governments to scale up programs. It is expected that research will enable greater uptake of GEDSI WASH-at-Work programs that, in turn, contribute to sustainable development of the tourism sector and its host communities.

This Case Study report considers the importance and challenges of ensuring WASH services are in place to support the tourism sector through difficult times and for future growth from the perspective of government, tourism operators and the community, particularly post-COVID-19.
