Bali hoteliers are helping the island’s beachside massage ladies to clean up their act.
The Bali Hotels Association (BHA) has lent its support to a hygiene workshop for beach masseuse run by the Bali Spa & Wellness Association (BSWA).
BSWA covered hygiene training, sanitation, skin diseases, basic massage techniques, and professional ethics.
More than 70 masseuses attended the event.
“As spa and wellness practitioners, we feel the need to embrace the existence of beach masseuse. They are honest and kind women who are trying to make a living,” said Lulu Widjaja, president of BSWA.
Jean-Charles Le Coz, chairman of BHA, added, “Formal or not, at the end of the day, beach massage is part of the experience tourists might have in Bali, and with this training, we hope to give the best we can offer.”
