Bali's Battle Against Overtourism and Waste Pollution
Indonesia's Minister for Tourism and Creative Economies, Sandiaga Uno, is urging Bali to address the risks of overtourism by focusing on developing quality and sustainable tourism. Bali, the flagship tourism destination in Indonesia, has experienced the negative impacts of tourism on its natural resources, infrastructure, and communities. The government recognizes the need to protect local communities, the environment, and tourists' experiences by implementing measures to combat overtourism. This includes attracting high-end tourists who are willing to pay more for sustainable tourism and stay longer on the island.
