Because of the (COVID-19) epidemic and the steps taken to manage it, the tourism industry has taken a major damage. A 60-80% collapse in the worldwide tourism economy, based on the duration of the crisis, is a possibility, based on revised projections. Over and above supporting the tourism industry, authorities are also focusing on recovery strategies. Included in this are concerns such as removing travel bans, increasing traveler trust, and reimagining tourism for the future, just to name a few.

After many initiatives, the Indonesian island of Bali has decided to postpone reopening to tourists. Covid-19 instances on the island have increased as a result of unvaccinated residents. Government officials have previously stated that they plan to resume tourism by the end of July or August. In the meanwhile, they’ll have to keep a close eye on where they’re at in this recent upsurge. There’s been a delay in plans to open Bali to foreign tourists since the situation in Indonesia isn’t suitable to international tourists visiting Indonesia, particularly Bali, at this time, according to Bali Governor Wayan Koster’s statement.

Numerous economies rely heavily on tourism, and the immediate, massive shock to the tourism industry caused by the coronavirus pandemic is impacting the economy as a whole.” Travel, corporate operations, and people-to-people connections have all been restricted as governments throughout the world have taken unprecedented precautions to contain the virus. For a number of countries, this means a new phase in the fight against the virus while also handling the re-opening of their tourism industries. To assess the economic effect on tourism, however, it is difficult undertaking.

In addition, the decision on whether foreign tourism may resume in the Southeast Asian country will rely on an evaluation of the situation both inside and outside the country. Tourism is Bali’s main source of income but the current climate is not conducive to bringing in more people to this beautiful island. Bali’s Governor explained that if Bali fails, it might have a negative impact on Indonesia’s image in the eyes of the world, which could be counterproductive to the recovery of tourism. To urge other countries to designate Indonesia as a safe location to visit, Indonesian officials reportedly summoned tourism ministers from a couple of key tourism partners to inspect the sanitary procedures and regulations that are in place on the islands.
