Indonesia and Bali face tourism crisis with absence of foreign tourists

Data from Bali, Indonesia’s most popular tourist destination, are in fact,quite disturbing. In October 2021, Bali re-opened its borders for international tourists, although with strict regulations, including a ban on the arrival of travelers from various countries.However, foreigners are not coming back to Bali till now.


Before the COVID-19 pandemic, more than six million foreign visitors traveled to Bali each year. So far in 2021, however, only 43 foreign visitor arrivals were counted at Bali’s NgurahRai Airport. This impacted occupancy rates in hotels in Bali.


For an island like Bali, which is roughly 65 percent dependent on tourism (directly and indirectly), the complete collapse of the tourism industry is indeed an unprecedented problem. But Indonesia as a whole, too, feels the impact of the plunge in tourist arrivals as foreigners fetch foreign currency into the country.


The Indonesian government is extremely pessimistic about attracting foreign visitor arrivals in 2022, although the nation isalmost COVID-19-free for the past couple of months.
