Letter: Scathing story about Bali tourism

A

s an associate professor of tourism combining at this moment a holiday and business trip in Bali, I could not wait to send a response to the “scathing story of Bali tourism”.

Visiting Bali for the first time, but having visited several times comparable destinations like Malaysia and Thailand, I must admit that several commentators say right things about Bali.

There should be a lot of investment in efforts to improve the complete “atmosphere” on the island.

It’s not only the garbage, the traffic jams, the visa requirements, etc. that causes inconveniences for tourists. It is more important to change the minds of all Bali citizens about sustainability, safety, proactive thinking, etc., if the island doesn’t want to lose the competition. For the future of Bali this will be a necessity.
