Indonesian Tourism Industry Association Bali offers free accommodation

Share this article, change size.

ndonesian Tourism Industry Association (GIPI) Bali is offering free accommodation for stranded tourists at the Ngurah Rai International Airport Bali that has been closed since Nov. 27 due to volcanic ash from Mount Agung.

“Not a single tourist should stay overnight at the airport, GIPI Bali together with Badung regional administration is providing free accommodation for tonight and tomorrow, if the airport remains closed,” said GIPI Bali head, Gus Agung.

“We’ve set aside two billion rupiahs for two nights, one room is allocated for two guests,” Gus added.

The accommodation also includes breakfast.

In the era of social media, Gus Agung mentioned, unsatisfied tourists are free to express their frustrations. "But if they are served well with respect, they will also post their happiness amid the panicky situation," he added.

Tourism minister Arief Yahya praised GIPI Bali for its initiative, "What is being done by the Badung regency and GIPI Bali is very good. This is what we call a long-term investment," he said.

The two billion rupiahs is relatively small compared to Badung’s average Locally-generated Income (PAD) in a year that is at seven trillion rupiahs. (asw)

Indonesian Government Commenced "Work from Bali" Program to Recover Tourism Sector

JAKARTA, 24 MAY 2021 - Indonesia is currently preparing for tourism industry recovery, and Bali is designated to be the pilot destination for the whole country. The preparation has been done in a mindful manner to make sure that future visitors get the most convenient experience once they return to Bali.

Following the decision to make Bali the pilot destination, The Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment has commenced the “Work From Bali” program for state civil servants. This program will be executed by seven institutional ministries under the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs, namely the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, and the Ministry of Investment.

It is planned that the government will send 25% of state civil servants under those aforementioned ministries to participate in the “Work from Bali” program. In providing accommodation and facilities, a total of 16 hotels in the Nusa Dua area have coordinated with the Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC), the manager of the Nusa Dua tourism area, to collaborate with the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime and Investment.

Head of the Communication Bureau of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, Vinsensius Jemadu, said that this policy would encourage economic recovery after the recession caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. He believes that this program will automatically increase the occupancy rate of hotels in the region.

However, the government is still considering the specification of the quota and types of work that can be done in the “Work from Bali” program. Moreover, there needs to be a regulation for the state civil servants to not include their families in the “Work from Bali” program.

"We recommend that the families should not be included, so we can fully maintain and supervise the mobilization to ensure the implementation of health protocols," said Vinsensius.

Currently, Bali has become the province with the highest COVID-19 vaccination rate according to the data from the Ministry of Health. It is reported that Bali has completed the Phase I of COVID-19 vaccination in three green zones (Ubud, Sanur, and Nusa Dua ) and is targeting to complete the Phase II by the end of July 2021.

Bali Tourism Association Proposes The Resumption Of The Free Visa Program For ASEAN Countries

Posted on Published: March 29, 2022

• Facebook 460

An official from the Bali Hotel and Restaurant Association has proposed that the central government resume the free visa program for travelers from ASEAN countries.

The Head of the Indonesian Hotel and Tourism Association for Bali (PHRI), I Gusti Ngurah Rai Suryawijaya, confirmed that he has proposed that the central government resume the free visa program for all ASEAN countries to revive Bali tourism faster.

Suryawijaya emphasized that the free visa is different from the visa on arrival program that was recently resumed for 42 countries.

“The VoA and the free visa program are two different things. Travelers are still required to pay USD $35 (IDR 500,000) to get the VoA while the free visa program provides access to travelers without payment,” Suryawijaya said on Tuesday (29/3).

Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, when the free visa program was still implemented, Bali received a large number of visitors from the ASEAN countries.

“When the free visa was still being implemented in 2019, Indonesia received over 14 million visitors and 6.3 million of them visited Bali, ” Suryawijaya added. He also proposed that the government extend the visa on arrival program to other European Union countries.

If the government implements this program this year, Bali tourism is expected to have a 40 percent increase by the end of 2022 and a full recovery in 2023. With the current implementation of visa on arrival, Bali has reached 25 percent hotel occupancy, up from 15 percent.

About 30 years that I visited Bali even when not possível Timor problem I get a special visa to went to Bali. Now with all vacines I can not get a visa on arrival when lasts time Portugueses do not need a visa. I AM waiting for visa on arrival or no visa to return.

Thursday 31st of March 2022

Personally, I prefer they keep the VoA fee and hope they raise it to 1M IDR. It's better to have "Quality" vs "Quantity" visitors arriving. As a native Hawaiian and having a home in both Hawaii and a villa in Bali, I've seen how cheap tourist destroys the beauty and tranquility of paradise. I hope they never bring back the free VoA.

Saturday 2nd of April 2022

@Kolohe, The low cost airlines will still attract tourists despite your idea of raising the VOA scheme price for tourist arrivals. Like you said it is still better quality rather than quantity.

@Kolohe, There were no 'cheap tourists' there when the visa on arrival system was in place before for many years right lol.

Drop all the covaxtard carry on and everything revolving around that,and i will go back,US$35 visa on arrival fee or not.

I have been coming to Bali for more than a decade, sometimes twice a year. It is incomprehensible to me that AUSTRIA is not one of the countries that are allowed to enter with a visa on arrival. Rather, a guarantor from Bali is required of me, a cumbersome procedure that is also associated with considerable additional costs. Does the Indonesian government suddenly no longer know AUSTRIA?

WHO WILL BE BENEFITED ?

Bali tourism industry would be able to experience many advantages through the existence of BTB in these difficult times we are facing right now and also in the years to come. Overall, we can say that BTB would benefit local community of Bali directly and Indonesia in general.

The above aspects can be justified by understanding Bali achievement in terms of tourism industry will not only benefit Bali but Indonesia in general considering the generated income from the Bali tourism industry will effect our national income.

Often we hear that tourism industry generated the second highest national income after gasoline and mining sector. This is as a result of Bali still being considered as the main tourism destination in Indonesia and the outcome of this will support the whole Indonesia in general.

However, specifically we could select those who would like to take advantage on that. Based on its vision and mission the existence of BTB firstly and importantly would give advantage to local community of Bali. It is in line with BTB vision that targeting the perfection of local community. And the advantage could be described not only on material, but also social status and their role in tourism industry. They would not be viewers who stand on the edge or tourism attractions any longer, but host for their guests.

Tourism practitioners would get its advantage. Through planned actions and cross exposure, BTB together with government and tourism practitioners would develop and build tourism of Bali. Hence, the success of BTB indeed would give positive impact to tourism industry directly. It means tourism practitioners benefited from BTB working performance.

Government has interchange relationship and importance in tourism. Previously, local authority has administrative responsibility to develop the tourism. However, later on when tourism goes smoothly, automatically the local authorities would enjoy the harvesting time. Through country income, tax and job opportunities in its region, clearly local authorities would get opportunity not only in developing its region, but also enhancing local community prosperity. We agree, of course, that a region with prosperous community would get opportunities to be a safe and prosper region.

Government with the existence of BTB, would get professional and experienced partner. BTB is a place for experienced tourism practitioners who equipped with capability and academic background. The existence of BTB means that Local Authorities could share the tasks with BTB inclusive get help and support in applying tourism development in Bali. Therefore, BTB is reliable working partner and lighten government task. In ideal condition, BTB could be counted as government role in applying tourism development.

Also, business practices in general would absorb the success of tourism development. Business practices could only be fertile if the local community in particular level of prosperity. Hence, the vision of BTB to enhance prosperity of local community could also be meant enhancing business opportunities in Bali. Even, tourism traffic in Bali would advantage commercial artists such as antiques, handy-craft, carving and sculpture, painting and home industry. Indeed, all sectors would take advantage on BTB, because BTB is a board that responsible to the development of tourism in Bali in which its activities would influence all living sectors of local community, local authorities and the country itself direct and indirect.
