Former Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment,\nLuhut Binsar Panjaitan, stated the importance of creating security and\norder in tourist areas, including Bali. Therefore, according to him,\nstrict action is needed against tourists who could damage the image of\ntourism.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Bali is not good, people will also be reluctant to come to\nIndonesia. So Bali must be orderly,\u201d said Luhut after the Coordination\nMeeting on the Expansion of the Digitalisation Pilot Project for Social\nAssistance Based on Digital Public Infrastructure in Denpasar, Bali on\nThursday, February 26, 2026, as quoted by Antara.<\/p>\n
He then highlighted that low-quality tourists should be deported.\n\u201cThose who cause drug problems, fights, and investments that take over\nSMEs here, we should just deport them,\u201d said Luhut.<\/p>\n
Luhut is confident that Bali\u2019s tourism charm will not fade just\nbecause it loses 10,000 unruly foreign tourists. In fact, Bali will be\neven more loved if it becomes more selective, including in terms of its\ntourists.<\/p>\n
To ensure that tourism on the Island of the Gods survives, Luhut\nhighlighted the importance of integrated infrastructure, as well as\nwater and waste management. Specifically to address the waste problem,\nhe ensured that the construction of a waste-to-energy plant will be\nannounced next week. \u201cSo we hope that 18 months from April, Bali will\nstart its waste-to-energy process,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Luhut is confident that the integrated digitalisation\nthat the government is currently developing can resolve problems caused\nby land-use changes in Bali. \u201cThe issue of order and land-use changes\nwill no longer be tolerated with this digitalisation,\u201d said the man who\nalso serves as Chairman of the Government\u2019s Digital Transformation\nAcceleration Committee.<\/p>\n
Currently, Government Technology, or government digitalisation based\non AI, which integrates more than 27,000 government applications, is\nstill focused on the digitalisation of social assistance. In the future,\nthe digitalisation of business permits and the integration of Digital\nPublic Infrastructure (DPI) will also be the main agenda of the\ncommittee.<\/p>\n
Therefore, according to Luhut, adjustments will also be made to the\ndata on land-use changes so that all development in Bali will be\norderly. \u201cAnd later, we will create a kind of penalty, the solution will\nbe found. So, from now on, the Governor must be reminded that if\nland-use changes are not correct, there will be adjustments later.\u201d<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/luhut-asks-for-naughty-tourists-in-bali-to-be-deported-1772113605", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
