Indonesia's decision to halt new hotel constructions in Bali stems from rising overtourism concerns. With nearly 3 million visitors this year, the governor aims for stability by promoting 'quality' tourism.
Authorities in Bali are responding to overtourism with a potential building moratorium, which could last from two to ten years, in hopes of managing tourist behavior and preserving local culture.
The increase in tourist numbers has led to a dramatic rise in incidents of bad behavior, prompting local officials to issue guidelines for visitors on how to act respectfully while in Bali.
To mitigate the effects of overtourism, Bali is not only suspending new hotel projects but also introduced a tourism tax to encourage responsible travel and enhance community welfare.
