Despite the pandemic continuing unabated, the tourism sector in Bali has been gradually picking up.

Bali Zoo in Gianyar, for instance, has seen an increased number of visitors.

“It’s around 200 to 300 guests per day on weekdays. On weekends, it can reach between 500 and 600 tourists, Bali Zoo head of public relations Emma Chandra told antaranews.com on Friday.

She explained that when the zoo first reopened on July 11, most of the visitors were residents of Bali. However, the zoo is now welcoming more domestic travelers from Jakarta or Surabaya.

State-owned airport operator PT Angkasa Pura I has also recorded an increase in the number of flights and passengers arriving and departing from I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport.

In November, the airport served a total of 3,898 flights and 351,585 passengers, when compared with October, the number increased 27.5 percent and 51.8 percent, respectively.

I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport general manager Herry A. Y. Sikado said the airport had recorded continuous growth in the past six months and traffic had reached its highest level last month.
