Close to three million foreign visitors arrived through Bali airport in the first half of 2024.
The proposal takes aim at the overdevelopment of land for commercial purposes, such as for beach clubs, said the interim Bali governor.
The plan has been suggested to the central government, which wants to reform tourism on Bali, one of Indonesia’s main attractions, in a bid to boost tourism quality and jobs while preserving the island’s indigenous culture. “We want to reform it,” the news website Detik quoted him as saying. “Hopefully, there will be an instruction related to the moratorium on the construction of hotels, villas, discotheques, and beach clubs... for one to two years.”
The government would discuss the plan for a two-year moratorium, which could stretch up to 10, senior minister Luhut Pandjaitan has said, however, the Jakarta Post newspaper reported the previous day.Recently, Mr Luhut said about 200,000 foreigners now live in Bali, contributing to problems such as crime, overdevelopment and competition for jobs.
