The Creative Industry which is one of the parties (stakeholders) involved in Tourism is an important component as well. The creative industries include Photography and Fashion which strongly support the implementation of tourism activities which are the reasons for the arrival of tourists to the island of Bali.
Bali is not only famous for its beautiful nature, unique culture and the attractive hospitality of its people, it is also known as a worldwide wedding destination and has attracted many tourists to visit Bali to get married and celebrate special moments in their lives. And to capture that moment, this is where photography and fashion will play a very important role.
Nakula Villa Management & Rental which manages beautiful accommodation facilities on Pasut Beach, Tabanan, Bali named Amarta Beachfront Resort & Spa understands the importance of the company’s position and shows its commitment to support the development of Bali Tourism, especially the Wedding sector where Amarta Beachfront Resort & Spa has facilities in the form of Accommodation, Oceanfront Wedding Venue, Lilly by The Sea Restaurant and Indoor and Outdoor Venues with the theme of Joglo Traditional Buildings, all of which greatly supported the implementation of the Wedding event.
For this reason, Amarta Beachfront Resort & Spa collaborated with Sinar Photo, Bali Citra Kebaya and the Bali International Polytechnic to hold the 2022 Photography Competition. At this event, a Photo Competition, Workshop & Tutorial and Fashion Show were held which invited 2 resource persons including Gusde and Andri Wilianto who is a practitioner, academic as well as entrepreneur in the field of photography.
Sankarsana Satria, General Manager Corporate Nakula Villa Management & Rental revealed that this event aims to show the public that in Kerambitan, Tabanan there is a beautiful Pasut Beach, there is accommodation (Amarta Beachfront Resort & Spa) that is no less beautiful. Satria is also open to cooperating with other parties to collaborate, synergize and inspire our collective spirit so that we can bounce back from the pandemic and be better than before.

Agung Bagus Erawan also said that Kerambitan has various tourism potentials but has not been widely exposed. He specifically asked the media and related parties to promote Kerambitan as a tourist destination.
The history of Kerambitan and especially Puri Kerambitan which was built in 1675 is described by Agung Bagus Erawan and even invites all parties to visit Puri Kerambitan to enjoy Historical and Cultural Tourism where in Puri Kerambitan there are many Historic Antique buildings.
All of these will be very interesting to be used as Cultural Tourism or Photo Spots, said Agung Bagus Erawan.
Meanwhile, the Bali International Polytechnic Campus (PIB) represented by Ganang Aditiyo Prakoso expressed his enthusiasm in attending and supporting this event. Bali International Polytechnic as a Polytechnic located in Tabanan wants to play an active role in advancing Bali Tourism and its Special Tabanan through qualified graduates who have digital qualifications and study programs that support this direction such as Photography and Museum and Art Handler which will be launched in soon.
No less enthusiasm was also shown by representatives from the Tabanan Tourism Office and the Tabanan Regional Tourism Promotion Board (BPPD) who conveyed the importance of Digitalization in Tourism in the future.
This is important to support promotional activities in order to increase tourist visits to Tabanan which will later help the economy in the Tabanan area itself.
