        "content": "<p>Head of the National Economic Council, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, has\nasked the Bali Provincial Government to be more selective in accepting\nforeign tourists. Luhut asked that \u2018low-quality\u2019 tourists be\ndeported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo Bali must be orderly, tourists who are not of good quality, we\nhave coordinated during my time as Coordinating Minister for Maritime\nAffairs and Investment, they should be deported from here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that foreign tourists who could be deported include\nthose with legal problems in Indonesia, such as drug abuse, fights, and\nactivities that harm local MSMEs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe, if we reduce another 10,000 people (tourists), that will not\nmake Bali a problem. Bali is loved by people, let those who come be\nquality tourists to Bali,\u201d Luhut praised.<\/p>\n<p>After highlighting the issue of orderliness, including land-use\nchanges, Luhut said that there should also be digital-based supervision,\nwhich could also make it more difficult for illegal practices to be\ncarried out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe issue of orderliness, land-use changes, with digitalization, it\nwill no longer be possible to play around. And later, maybe the solution\nwill be penalties,\u201d said Luhut, Thursday (February 26, 2026).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, from now on, it must be reminded that those who make improper\nland-use changes will be subject to adjustments later,\u201d he\ncontinued.<\/p>\n<p>The former Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment\ncalled Bali an \u2018gem\u2019 of Indonesia because it has a quality of tourism\nmanagement that attracts the world\u2019s attention. In the future, in\naddition to strengthening infrastructure, handling waste-based energy,\nand improving spatial planning, there will also be rapid steps in\ndigital transformation.<\/p>\n<p>Luhut also hopes that Bali can become a model for sustainable tourism\nmanagement in Indonesia. \u201cBali is the jewel of Indonesia, so if Bali is\nnot good, then people outside will also be lazy to come to Indonesia.\nSo, Bali must be orderly,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>(mud\/mud)<\/p>",
