Foreign tourists won't be allowed to visit the Indonesian island of Bali for the rest of 2020 due to coronavirus concerns AFP/SONNY TUMBELAKAJAKARTA: Foreign tourists won't be allowed to visit Bali for the rest of 2020 due to coronavirus concerns, its governor said, scrapping a plan to open up the Indonesian island from next month.
The holiday hotspot re-opened beaches, temples and other tourism spots for domestic visitors at the end of July and had said it would let foreign tourists return on Sep 11.But the plan has now been cancelled over concerns about Indonesia's mounting virus cases and with many foreign nationals subject to travel bans in their home countries.Jakarta is also yet to lift its ban on foreign tourists entering Indonesia.
"The situation in Indonesia is not conducive to allow international tourists to visit Indonesia, including ... Bali," the island's governor I Wayan Koster said in an official letter dated Saturday ."The central government supports plans to recover tourism by opening the doors for international tourists. However, this requires care, prudence, not to be rushed, and requires careful preparation," it added.
Nationwide, Indonesia has seen at last 6,680 virus deaths with more than 153,000 confirmed cases, but the real toll is widely believed to be hidden by limited testing.
