Bali's governor, Wayan Koster, has issued new regulations to promote respectful tourism as visitor numbers soar. The guidance aims to maintain Bali's cultural integrity, requiring tourists to dress modestly, utilize licensed guides, and adhere to local customs when visiting sacred sites. Notably, a $9 tourist levy is implemented to aid in infrastructure preservation. The governor stressed the importance of legal vehicle operation and respect for traffic rules to ensure safety. These regulations reflect Bali's commitment to sustainable tourism that aligns with local values and traditions.
Visitors must honor Balinese customs and cultural practices, dress respectfully in modest clothing, and use licensed tour guides when visiting natural or cultural sites.
We issued a similar regulation before, but as things change, we need to adapt. This ensures that Bali's tourism remains respectful, sustainable, and in harmony with our local values.
This charge amounts to approximately $9 and goes towards the preservation of existing and construction of new infrastructure on the island.
