'Stingy' Tourists Spending Less Time and Money in Bali
Made Arya Kencana | April 25, 2012
Denpasar. The number of foreign tourists visiting Bali may have increased
over the past decade, but the time and money spent by each visitor is
falling.
Tourism Board chairman Ida Bagus Ngurah Wijaya said stingy tourists are
overcrowding Bali, and residents who rely on tourism for their livelihoods
are not reaping the benefits.
"It's ironic. We want people to come but when they come we have serious
problems of traffic and waste. The island becomes dirty," he said.
According to the Bali Statistics Agency, 2.8 million foreign tourists
visited the island last year, up from 2.6 million in 2010.
However, their average length of stay has fallen from a week to three or
four days, while daily spending has decreased from $300 ten years ago to
$100, Ngurah said.
Bali has begun to lose its cultural charm and exclusivity due to the
crowded conditions, he said, driving away "quality tourists" like those
from Europe.
Observers have noted that the island is facing new challenges in the form
of water shortages, crime, pollution and outbreaks of rabies and
Legionnaires' disease.
"People continue to construct hotels and buildings without Balinese
character," Ngurah said.
To slow development, Governor Made Mangku Pastika has imposed a moratorium
on new hotels in parts of the south, where most of the island's 50,000
rooms are concentrated.
The government says Bali streets could be gridlocked in five years.
Vehicle sales are growing by 12.3 percent a year and road construction
just 2.5 percent.
Even without tourists, Bali is overpopulated, with four million living on
an island that officials say can support just 1.5 million
