The biscuit community is soon heading to the "Land of a Thousand Temples." From March 25–27, 2026, the Biscuit People Conference will take over the stunning Westin Resort Nusa Dua in Bali. Whether you are a biscuit maker, an equipment pro, or an R&D specialist, we are making it easier for your travel with this comprehensive guide.

1. Flying to Bali: Navigating the Routes

Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) is well-connected, but recent shifts in global aviation have changed the "best" way to get there from Europe and the Americas.

  • The Traditional Routes: Usually, the fastest way from Europe is via Gulf hubs like Dubai (Emirates), Doha (Qatar Airways), or Abu Dhabi (Etihad).

  • The "Detour" Strategy: Due to current regional situations, some airlines are rerouting flights to avoid specific airspaces. This can lead to longer flight times or technical stops. If you wish to avoid these areas entirely, consider the Southeast Asian Hub Strategy.

  • Alternative Hubs: For maximum stability, many travelers are booking through:

    • Singapore (SIN): Singapore Airlines offers frequent, short connections to Bali.

    • Istanbul (IST): Turkish Airlines provides a direct bridge from Europe to Indonesia.

    • Kuala Lumpur (KUL): A reliable gateway with many regional carriers (Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia) heading to Denpasar.

Pro Tip: Check your flight status regularly. While Bali's airport is operating normally, flight paths from Europe may take slightly longer than usual due to these southern detours.

2. Entry Requirements: Visas and Paperwork

Indonesia has streamlined its entry process, but there are a few mandatory steps to complete before you land:

  • Passport Validity: Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your date of arrival.

  • Visa on Arrival (VoA): Most nationalities (including the EU, UK, USA, and Australia) can obtain a 30-day Visa on Arrival. To save time at the airport, we highly recommend applying for the e-VoA online via the official immigration portal.

  • The "All-in-One" Form: You must complete the Electronic Customs Declaration (e-CD) and a health declaration form (SatuSehat) before arrival. You will receive a QR code—screenshot it for easy access at the airport.

3. Getting to Nusa Dua

The conference is held in Nusa Dua, a manicured resort enclave known for its safety and world-class facilities.

  • From the Airport: The drive from the airport to The Westin Resort Nusa Dua is relatively short (about 20–30 minutes) via the Mandara Toll Road.

  • Transport Options: * Taxi: Reliable metered taxis are available directly at the airport arrivals terminal.

    • Grab/Gojek: The local versions of Uber. They have designated pick-up points at the airport.

    • Hotel Transfers: You can arrange a private pick-up directly through The Westin for a stress-free arrival.

4. At the Venue: The Westin Resort Nusa Dua

BPC26 is designed for both professional growth and networking.

  • The Agenda: Expect sessions on the latest in biscuit technology, including AI in production, sustainable nutrition, and innovative packaging.

  • Networking: Between sessions, the Westin’s beachfront location offers the perfect backdrop for informal meetings and the famous Biscuit People social events.

5. Essential Tips for Bali

  • Currency: The Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). While cards are widely accepted in Nusa Dua, keep some cash for small purchases.

  • Connectivity: Pre-order an e-SIM or buy a local SIM card at the airport to stay connected during the event.

  • Health: Stick to bottled or filtered water (often called "Aqua" locally) to avoid the infamous "Bali Belly."
