Bali get new toilets!!

Soon, the days when foreign tourists have to scuttle back and forth along the beach to find a decent public toilet will come to an end. The island’s richest regency has vowed to allocate Rp 1 billion to build international standard toilets at its main tourist attractions.

The toilets will also be equipped with special facilities for the disabled.
Badung booked revenue in 2011 of Rp 1.2 trillion, some 80 percent of which was generated by the tourist industry. Besides hosting the largest number of hotels and restaurants, the regency also boasts some of the island’s most famous tourist attractions, including Kuta Beach.

Unfortunately, not all of the tourist attractions have been equipped with proper supporting facilities, including toilets. A toilet was one of the few facilities that tourists frequently sought in a tourist attraction and the presence or absence of proper, clean facilities could significantly alter the visitors’ perception of the attraction. Badung would start the construction phase for the public toilets next year. The toilets would be built at beaches in Nusa Dua, Jimbaran, Legian, Seseh and Canggu.

These beaches are very popular and none of them have good toilets. Each beach will get three new toilets, one for men, one for women and the remaining one for visitors with special needs. Other tourist attractions in Badung would also be equipped with similar facilities. These five beaches are the first priority because the need there is very pressing.
