We Stand for Every Child, Merusaka’s commitment to protecting children at our home.

Bali is more than a destination. For millions of people, visitors and locals alike it is a place of beauty, warmth, and genuine human connection. At Merusaka Nusa Dua, we are privileged to be part of this island’s story. And with that privilege comes a responsibility we take deeply to heart: the protection and dignity of every child in our community.

This is not a policy document. It is a statement of who we are.

A Resort Rooted in Community 

Merusaka was built on the belief that great hospitality goes hand in hand with genuine care for the place and people around us. Nusa Dua is not just our address—it is our home. The children who grow up here, who play on these streets and dream of their futures, are part of the community we serve every single day.

That’s why Merusaka actively supports efforts to combat the sexual exploitation of children, a cause that sits at the intersection of child welfare, community dignity, and responsible tourism. We believe that a truly welcoming destination is, above all, a safe one.

Why This Matters to Us 

Child sexual exploitation is a reality that exists in tourist destinations around the world, including here in Bali. It thrives in silence and in the shadows of indifference. The most powerful thing a community can do—whether a family, a neighborhood, or a resort—is to simply refuse to look away.

As one of Bali’s leading hospitality properties, Merusaka has both the reach and the responsibility to help change the culture around this issue. We do not see this as an obligation. We see it as a natural expression of our values: care, integrity, and a deep respect for every human being who crosses our path.

“Every child deserves a childhood free from exploitation and abuse.”

What We Are Doing 

Protecting children requires more than good intentions—it requires awareness, education, and action. At Merusaka, we are committed to:

• Raising awareness among our employees about the signs and risks of child exploitation.

• Promoting a culture of vigilance and responsibility throughout our resort operations.

• Supporting initiatives and partnerships that strengthen child protection within the tourism industry.

• Encouraging guests, partners, and suppliers to join us in creating a safer environment for children.

• Maintaining clear procedures for reporting suspected cases of exploitation or abuse to the appropriate authorities.

Every member of our team plays a role in safeguarding children. From frontline staff to management, we believe that protecting vulnerable members of our community is a shared responsibility.

Responsible Tourism Starts With All of Us 

Tourism has the power to create opportunity, strengthen communities, and foster cultural understanding. But responsible tourism also requires courage the courage to recognize harm and take action against it.

We believe travelers today want more than memorable experiences. They want to know that the places they visit reflect values they can be proud to support. By standing against child exploitation, we are helping ensure that Bali remains not only a beautiful destination, but also a safe and ethical one.

Our Promise 

At Merusaka Nusa Dua, we stand for hospitality that protects, respects, and uplifts. We stand for communities that care for their children. We stand for tourism that creates positive impact. And above all, we stand for every child’s right to safety, dignity, and a future filled with possibility.

Because protecting children is not someone else's responsibility. It belongs to all of us.
