"Bali is Too Crowded: How Over-Tourism Threatens Local Beauty and Life?"

This is a Response to the Pariwisata Berkelanjutan wikithon

Overtourism in Bali has caused land conversion, water crisis, plastic waste, and security disturbances (Nugraha, 2022). This arises due to successful tourism marketing, easy access, and cultural and natural attractions that are reinforced by social media and the digital nomad trend (Veríssimo et al., 2020). The impacts include traffic jams, rising property prices, and environmental damage. To overcome this problem, Tourism Business Certification is needed in accordance with Law No. 10 of 2009 to improve the quality of the tourism industry. We, students of SMA Negeri 4 Denpasar, develop innovations in waste processing and promoting local MSMEs so that culture remains sustainable. Currently, our program has developed with a focus on developing tourism businesses and the creative economy. Young people have an important role in driving positive developments. In addition, government policies in selecting tourists need to be tightened for the sustainability of Bali tourism. Let's protect the environment together and build a better future!
