Bali Governor Wayan Koster received many reports of violations of tourist accommodation businesses to villas that were used as places of practice of prostitution.
In a coordination meeting of regional governments throughout Bali in Badung Regency, Koster said he would impose strict sanctions on these efforts.
"Reports of prostitution and also foreign tourists staying there but not paying hotel and restaurant taxes, many villas like that, in the future they must be orderly," he said, Wednesday, March 12.
Controlling tourism accommodation businesses itself is an urgent super priority program that he has arranged, where the Bali Provincial Government will identify tourism businesses or accommodation such as hotels, villas, restaurants, beach clubs, karaoke, and spas that have committed many violations.
"The emergence of an exclusive village (WNA), some are not licensed, we will check the KTP Bali or not, what percentage of workers are Balinese and the operating time does not exceed 10 pm because it disturbs tourists and local residents," said Koster.
In addition, the violation that Koster received was violating the coastal border, controlling the coast, making it difficult for local communities, carrying out disturbing and tarnishing activities of traditional ceremonies, violating the limits of defamation of temples, and misuse of villas for the practice of prostitution earlier.
"Of course we have to check who their partners are so that we can arrange them properly so that Bali is orderly, in 2025-2030 I will take a crackdown and firm action against all parties who made Bali, so that the Balinese aura will appear again strongly," said the Governor of Bali.
The Bali Provincial Government will impose sanctions for controlling the existing regulations, as well as ensuring partiality to local communities.
Local governments will ensure tourism businesses do not allow foreigners to use local people for the sake of licensing, at least 90 percent of their workers are Balinese citizens, and limited operating hours.
"It is forbidden to violate coastal boundaries, control the coast, making it difficult for local people to interfere with the sacredness of traditional ceremonies, prohibited from abusing villas, houses, or the like for prostitution, we will take firm action because of that I ask for support so that I can carry out well, otherwise Bali is chaotic," said Koster.
With this Wayan Koster gives authority to law enforcement officers to give punishment to violators, as well as traditional villages to control and create pararems.
"So that Bali is orderly again, this chaos cannot be allowed to continue and our image will decline and Bali tourism will be abandoned," he said.
