The Indonesian government has pledged to position Bali as the heart of the country’s tourism industry, focusing on improving tourism services and managing visitor numbers to alleviate overcrowding.

According to CNN Indonesia, Channel News Asia (CNA) also reported that Bali, once renowned for its relaxed atmosphere, now grapples with overtourism challenges as the surge of visitors overwhelms the island’s infrastructure.

Despite these concerns, the Bali Tourism Office maintains that the island has not yet reached overtourism levels. Instead, the issue is described as ‘over-concentration,’ with tourism heavily focused on southern Bali.

“Everything is concentrated in southern Bali – from business activities and traffic congestion to massive construction projects,” Tjok Pemayun said on December 26, as reported by Antara. “But Bali is not just the south; we have East Bali, North Bali, and West Bali.”

To address this, Bali Tourism Office (Dispar) plans to launch a travel pattern initiative in 2025 to redistribute tourist flows across the island and reduce overcrowding in the southern regions. The initiative aims to distribute visitors across northern, eastern, and western Bali while also encourage tourism development in these region.

While Bali expecting higher foreign tourist visitor in 2025, efforts are underway to create structured travel patterns and improve access to these less-visited regions, aiming to spread economic opportunities more evenly across the island and reduce pressure on the southern tourism hotspots.
