A
moratorium on new hotels in southern Bali issued by the Bali provincial government in 2011 has failed to tackle the region's over development, according to research by Colliers International Indonesia (CII).
Regents and city mayors who disagree with the regulation and have the authority to issue hotel permits are said to be one of the main reasons behind the continued development.
Southern Bali is an area that encompasses the island's three richest regions: Badung, Denpasar and Gianyar.
"By the end of last year, Bali already had 39,605 rooms. It is expected to have 42,154 rooms by the end of 2018," said CII research associate director Ferry Salanto as quoted by kompas.com.
Similar to Jakarta, Bali's occupancy rate has decreased from 68.2 percent by the end of 2014 to 57.4 percent. Meanwhile, its average daily rate has lowered from US$134.43 to $128.38. (kes)(++++)
