Bali: Now & Then | January - February 2024

January 2024 marks NOW! Bali's 15th Anniversary, one and a half decades of publishing and sharing about this fabulous island.

During this milestone, we take a moment to reflect on not only the magazine's history but that of Bali, as we ponder over the island's past, present and future.

Our feature stories in this edition cover an insightful look into the historical development of Bali's tourism industry and what lessons we can learn; then we share about an organisation paving the path for a sustainable island; and also explore how Balinese culture has intersected with new digital technologies.

Furthermore, publisher Alistair Speirs tells the story of the founding of NOW! Magazines, and our community share a few kind words.

NOW! Bali was founded on some strict principles: to ensure we have stories on art, culture and nature in every issue; not to allow any development or real estate advertising; to spotlight community and those here to make Bali a better place, not to better themselves. This edition, and every edition before and to come, continues to live by these principles. We hope you enjoy the many great stories, news, updates and reviews found in our magazine.
