Tourism significantly contributes to local economies, but problematic behaviors from tourists can harm the environment and culture. In response to issues like littering and disrespecting sacred sites, Bali's governor, Wayan Koster, announced new regulations to guide tourist behavior. The guidelines promote respect for local traditions and require payment of a tourist levy. Koster remarked that further refinements to these regulations will be finalized later in the year, underscoring the necessity of these measures to protect Bali's heritage and natural beauty.
It's prompted a number of governments to take action and clarify regulations on how tourists should behave - and recently, Bali's governor, Wayan Koster, joined the list of officials speaking out against ill-behaved tourists.
Many of the guidelines are common-sense regulations, making it all the more frustrating that Bali's officials had to clarify them.
