DENPASAR – The Ascott Limited Regional Bali held a special iftar gathering with women ride-hailing drivers under the theme “Resilient on the Road, Warm in Togetherness with Women Ride-Hailing Drivers.” The event took place at HARRIS Hotel & Convention Denpasar on March 11, 2026.
Organized by the People & Culture team of Ascott Regional Bali, the event was held in the spirit of togetherness during the holy month of Ramadan while also commemorating International Women’s Day. The gathering served as a gesture of appreciation for women ride-hailing drivers who demonstrate resilience, dedication, and determination in balancing their roles as income earners and pillars of their families.
The program began with opening remarks from Ascott Regional Bali management, followed by a religious talk delivered by Didik Khoirudin Zuhri, a collective prayer session, and the breaking of the fast in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Participants also received gift packages as a token of appreciation and support from the management.
The social initiative was supported through the collaboration of various properties under Ascott Regional Bali, including HARRIS Hotel & Residence Sunset Road Bali, HARRIS Hotel Kuta Tuban, HARRIS Hotel & Convention Denpasar, HARRIS Hotel Seminyak, FOX Hotel Jimbaran Beach Bali, YELLO Hotel Kuta Beachwalk Bali, Maison Aurelia Sanur Bali, Citadines Berawa Beach Bali Resort, POP! Hotel Kuta Beach, and HARRIS Hotel & Residences Riverview Kuta.
Area General Manager East Indonesia and General Manager of Citadines Berawa Beach Bali Resort, Patrick Legrand, said the initiative reflects the company’s commitment to strengthening community engagement and supporting women’s empowerment.
“Regardless of religion or the occasion, we hope to continue building connections and mutual respect within a community that supports one another and celebrates meaningful moments together,” he said.
He added that through the company’s sustainability commitment under Ascott Cares, Ascott believes every community member—including women and people with disabilities—deserves recognition and equal opportunities to work and contribute.
“Going forward, we hope to expand our support for people with disabilities across Indonesia,” he added.
