“…However, as destinations globally rush to modernize, the siren call of sustainability grows louder. Any infrastructural project, particularly in ecologically sensitive zones, has repercussions (Young et al, 2005;Zhang & Noronha, 2023). Their call for sustainability is not just about today but also about ensuring that the charm of places like Kelingking Beach remains intact for future generations.…”

This study undertakes a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis of the proposed glass elevator installation at Kelingking Beach, a renowned tourist destination in Bali. The research draws upon diverse scholarly perspectives to offer a comparative lens on infrastructural developments in natural settings. While the glass elevator promises to democratize access, particularly for older people and those with mobility challenges, and possibly amplify economic gains, it also brings forth concerns related to overdevelopment, environmental impact, and the risk of compromising the intrinsic charm of the destination. Our findings elucidate that while there are clear strengths, such as enhanced accessibility and potential for premium pricing, there are notable challenges to consider. The weaknesses, primarily arising from potential safety concerns and the possibility of detracting from the beach's natural allure, call for thoughtful solutions. Opportunities present themselves through collaborative efforts, sustainable practices, and a reinvigorated tourism sector. The study serves as a template for policymakers and stakeholders in natural tourist destinations, aiming to integrate infrastructure without diluting the essence of the locale.

The Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, launched during the United Nations Biodiversity Conference in December 2022, encourages governments, companies and investors to publish data on their nature‐related risks, dependencies and impacts. These disclosures are intended to drive businesses to recognise, manage and mitigate their reliance on ecosystem goods and services. However, there is a ‘biodiversity blind spot’ that is evident for most organisations and business schools. Business education rarely addresses the root causes of biodiversity loss, such as the unsustainable exploitation of natural resources. As the dominant positioning of Education for Sustainable Development Goals (ESDG) presents biodiversity in anthropocentric instrumental terms inadequate for addressing ecosystem decline, we posit that a more progressive and transformative ecocentric education through ecopedagogy and ecoliteracy is needed. Both approaches include the development of critical thinking about degrowth, the circular economy and conventional stakeholder theory to include non‐human stakeholders. Using comparative case studies from Northumbria University, the University of Hong Kong and Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, we illustrate how business education can be transformed to address biodiversity loss, providing theoretical guidance and practical recommendations to academic practitioners and future business leaders.
