Will the island of Bali open to tourists in September 2020

The promised opening of one of the world's most popular tourist destinations may not take place. The island of Bali is likely to remain closed to the public until the end of 2020. The peak of the epidemic has gone down, but the situation continues to be tense, as a result of which the local leadership decided to delay the opening of the resort.

Earlier, the tourist management of Indonesia decided to restart the resorts of Bali for foreign visitors on September 11, 2020. However, the capital government has not yet taken any measures to create a plan to get the resorts out of the pandemic crisis.

To date, the issue of the resumption of international tourist flows to Indonesia is a rib. The reason for this is the lack of a positive decision on the part of the Ministry of Human Rights and Justice of that country. The relevant application was made by putu Astava, head of the tourism department in Bali province. Until the complete cancellation of previous regulations related to the closure of borders for foreign nationals, the plan to open the resort on September 11 can not begin to be implemented. In this regard, it is still impossible to make clear predictions about the reopening of the important tourist destination.

At the same time, we should not forget the external restrictions: in many countries there are a large number of bans on visiting the south-eastern regions, which will also have a significant impact on the flow of foreign visitors, which bali will be able to receive after the opening.

There have been repeated statements on the part of the authorities that Indonesia's economy is experiencing serious difficulties without tourism. But even in such a difficult situation, no one wants to risk the emergence of new hotbeds of coronavirus spread. Hence the desire to wait out the threat, to insure, preferably before the appearance of the vaccine. Forecasts for its creation are not comforting: not before the beginning of next year.

Since July 31, local hotels have reopened their doors to local guests. The country is actively strengthening domestic tourism, preparing new destinations and regions, preparing them for work in the new world after the end of the epidemic.

Experts note that the potential of Indonesia's domestic market should not be underestimated. With a population of 270 million people, more than in Russia twice, its territory is quite small. And the purchasing power of citizens continues to increase steadily.
