is a fee for entering Indonesia not just for entering Bali.
This is an Indonesian Government tax and therefore the money goes to the Indonesian Government. The money does not stay in Bali.
It is true that the plastic bags are an environmental menace but there is no connection between them and the VOA.
In Sanur you will find that the beaches and streets are cleaned and swept every day. The rubbish removal trucks also come around every day. It is a far better service than you get in many western countries.
