The guidebook, is part of the international tourist spot’s preparations in welcoming foreign tourists in the wake of COVID-19.

“As the government reopened tourism in Bali on October 14 (2021), we compiled a travel guide to be used by foreign tourists,” Head of the Bali Provincial Tourism Office Putu Astawa said.

 “Furthermore, foreign tourists must conduct a five-day self-quarantine at one of the 35 hotels designated by the government once they arrive in Bali, “ he was quoted as saying by Antara news agency.               The guidebook which will be handed to tourists during the self-isolation period, comprises of rules on traveling in Bali including the arrival protocols at the Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport and the health protocols, which must be implemented when traveling.

“In addition, tourists are required to have health insurance, visas, and complete COVID-19 vaccination certificates. If they fulfill the conditions, they can enter Bali,” he reiterated.

He said the government is only allowing tourists from countries with Level 1 and 2 confirmed cases and a positivity rate of below five percent, adding tourists need to submit negative results of RT-PCR tests taken a maximum of 72 hours before departure and accommodation proof.

“In addition, the tourists will have to undergo two additional RT-PCR tests – once they arrive at the airport and on the fourth day of the quarantine,” he said.

According to Astawa, an increase will be seen in the number of tourists in November or December.

“Currently, Balinese tourism actors are not the only ones who are making preparations, but also the travelers and the airlines,” he added.
