Monitoring Bali Tourism: Ministry Forms Special Task Force

Share:

Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno, Minister of Tourism and Creative Industries, announced on Wednesday that his government had assembled a task force of representatives from various institutions to keep an eye on Bali’s tourism industry. “A task force has been established. From the centre and the area, we (the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy) will closely monitor the matters,” He made this statement after attending a Wednesday show organized by an online transportation company.

He stated that the task force would examine many tourism-related issues to better the industry in the future. The Minister added that Indonesia would be renowned for its effective law enforcement, which will give visitors who adhere to the rules priority and inflict severe penalties on those who do not.

As a result, we perceive that Indonesia welcomes visitors and spreads out a red carpet for them. However, visitors must abide by the laws, and those who repeatedly break the law will receive warnings. He added that we wouldn’t hesitate to deport the tourists and put them on a blocklist if required, especially if they commit repeated infractions.

The Minister added that, on average, guests who participated in the brainstorming session talk at the Gojek event did not ride motorcycles and only did so when traffic congestion occurred.

“However, they hire motorcycles through the online motorcycle taxi (service); some travellers use point-to-point (services),” he added.

The Minister commented on the statistics regarding motorbike accidents in Bali and stated that they occur because tourists find it difficult to operate the vehicles safely. The Minister also stated that there are numerous traffic violations due to improper communication regarding rules, monitoring, and law enforcement. The special task force will be the one that handles all expat-related incidents in Bali. 

In light of this, he encouraged the Bali government to implement policies that support the aspirations of high-quality, sustainable tourism.
