Travel Warning Appears, Governor Koster Ensures Bali Is Safe

DENPASAR - Bali Governor Wayan Koster has no problem with various "travel warnings" or travel celebrations from countries in the world to Indonesia, especially Bali.

According to him, the Bali Provincial Government has confirmed that Bali's condition is conducive after the demonstration which peaked on Saturday (30/8).

"There are no problems anymore, so with the letter I have issued (Bali statement is safe and conducive) it has been resolved," he said.

The Governor of Bali said a statement stating that the demonstration had been completed and that community activities had been running normally for all countries.

"So there is no need to worry that Bali is safe and conducive, tourists from various foreign and domestic tourist countries don't need to hesitate to go to Bali, please travel to Bali to enjoy the natural beauty, the uniqueness of the people and the uniqueness of Balinese culture, Bali is very conducive," he said.

It was previously known that a number of countries issued Travel Commemoration such as Australia, Canada, the United States, and Britain.

However, Wayan Koster has monitored that in the past week there has been no significant impact on the warning, even domestic tourists have come to Bali because in big cities there have been heated demonstrations.

The demonstration that took place in Bali also did not cause damage to tourism facilities or infrastructure, only a lot of graffiti was found in the central area of Renon.

With the situation easing, Governor Koster asked the Bali Police to release the mass of actions that were proven not to have violated the law and have been largely released, except those that are still being processed because they are considered violations.

Separately, Deputy Governor of Bali I Nyoman Giri Prasta also responded to the Travel Commemoration from tourist countries such as Australia.

The Bali Provincial Government does not make this a fear, because the same warning was also issued and the impact did not last long, because this was done for the sake of its own citizens as well.

"The issue of the Travel Commemoration we had experienced a year earlier, when the commemoration was also carried out by Australia, there was a government decision where Australians were not allowed to go out on a trip," he said as quoted by ANTARA.

"But the second choice is Bali because it is much cheaper, even the weather and Balinese cultural customs really give consideration to tourists, I don't think this is a problem because the Australian people already think that the second house is in Bali," continued Giri Prasta.
