Will be interesting if this idea gains any support ;
Former Indonesian Minister and
a member of the United Nations
World Tourism Organization's
Committee on Tourism
Ethics, I Gde Ardika, has
called on the provincial
government of Bali to
consider limiting the
number of both domestic
and international tourists
allowed to visit Bali due
to the island‟s limited
carrying capacity.
Ardika warns Bali that it is grievously
wrong if it believes it can
accommodate a limitless number
of tourism visitors. As reported
by Beritabali.com, Ardika
says now is the time for Bali to
put quality of tourist visitors
before the desire of merely
seeking mere quantity.
Ardika said the qualitative approach
to tourism does not
mean seeking only highspending
visitors, but emphasizes
seeking visitors who hold
the cultural values of Bali in
high esteem.
The highly respected tourism
leader veteran says that as an
island of limited area, Bali must
inevitably face limits to tourism
growth. For this reason, priority
must be given to tourists who
are in tune with the concept of
developing cultural tourism on
the island.
