"Saving Bali from the Trap of Overtourism: Solutions for Sustainable Tourism"
This is a Response to the Pariwisata Berkelanjutan wikithon
Bali experiences negative impacts due to overtourism, such as environmental damage, traffic jams, and cultural exploitation. In August 2024, 616,641 foreign tourists visited Bali, mostly via Ngurah Rai Airport (Bali Post, 2024). The surge in tourists exacerbated traffic jams in Kuta and Ubud. From January to April 2024, the number of foreign tourists reached 1,847,735, an increase of 7.24% compared to the previous month (Acadlore, 2024). To overcome this problem, it is necessary to limit the number of tourists, strictly regulate development, and increase tourist awareness. Diversifying destinations to less densely populated areas, such as North and West Bali, can reduce pressure on popular areas. The government must also enforce environmental regulations and ensure that economic benefits are more evenly distributed to local communities. With a sustainable approach, Bali can remain a leading destination without sacrificing the nature and culture that are its identity.
