Bali's tourism and creative economic Minister Sandiaga
Uno has said that this month a steady growth in national visitors will be seen
with an average of 4,500 visitors a day.
At a Live Press Conference, the minister said that the
average daily visitor figure in January was between 2 000 and 2 500. Since
then, the figure has almost doubled to 4,000 visitors and 4,500.
"This is a good achievement," Sandiaga
remarked.
"We can begin to develop confidence among
domestic tourists in order to be active and mobile in Bali, along with the
improvement of compliance with health protocols which make tourists feel secure
and relaxed."
Sandiaga also said officials are focusing on the
preparation and transmission control in high-risk regions of the province's
identified green areas.
Bali has reduced the number of COVID-19 "red
zones" from five on April 11 to one, namely Badung regency. Though, other
cities and regencies in the province are also designated as "orange
zones," indicating a medium risk of transmission.
Domestic tourism is expected to fall next month as
Indonesia prepares to enforce a mudik homecoming exodus ban and tighten travel
restrictions for the time preceding and following the Eid al-Fitr holiday.
