Bali plans to lure more visitors to northern shores as tourism creates problems
[JAKARTA] Bali’s tourism and transport ministries will work together to persuade more tourists to visit its less popular northern attractions, as the island grapples with traffic congestion and poorly behaved tourists on motorbikes.
Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Uno on Wednesday (Jan 3) unveiled a three-pronged plan to regulate visitor flows at the most popular sites.
Efforts will be made to promote activities in the northern areas, such as trekking at Mount Batur or dolphin watching at Lovina Beach.
