Bali, a global icon of natural beauty and cultural richness, is at a critical juncture. Once considered to be beneficial for the island's economy, its thriving tourism industry now faces dangers because of over-tourism. This threatens its delicate ecosystem while eroding Bali’s rich cultural heritage as well as straining infrastructure.
The Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno, recently addressed issues at the THINC Indonesia Conference in Badung district. He warned that South Bali was approaching overtourism and a slight 10 percent increase could transform tourists into "public enemies," resembling Barcelona's situation. The minister stressed the importance of achieving equilibrium within tourism development by urging sustainable business practices implementation alongside evenly distributing visitors across various locations on the island such as West Bali, North Bali, Karangasem Klungkung Tabanan Bangli.
Foreign investors, entrepreneurs, and tourists are integral to Bali's economy.
