Bali' 3 main problems

In an attempt to lure many more tourists to visit Bali, the provincial administration will soon take special measures to better organize the island. Three main problems must be urgently resolved, according to Bali Governor I Made Mangku Pastika. These problems surround the garbage issue, traffic congestions and the uncontrollable building of new hotels, the governor said. Those problems were identified through a recent survey conducted by the Bali administration, the governor told reporters, according to Tribun Bali. On the garbage issue, Made Mangku Pastika said that some visitors had complained about unclean environment in certain areas like Kintamani and Batur. Meanwhile, Bali’s economic growth and the rapidly rising number of vehicles coming from outside Bali had significantly contributed to traffic jams in some parts of the island. The governor said growth centers must also be developed in north Bali, East Bali and west Bali. Currently such centers are mostly found in south Bali. “If a moratorium on new hotel projects in south Bali is more seriously implemented, hotel developers will surely relocate to the north, east and west areas,” said Made Mangku Pastika, who is a native of Bali and a former two-star police general. The Bali governor also said that his office would need participation of other stakeholders to resolve the problems identified in its survey. Bali is Indonesia’s most famous tourist destination.
