        "summary": "The Klungkung Regent, I Made Satria, plans to crack down on unlicensed travel businesses in Nusa Penida to alleviate frequent traffic congestion during peak tourist seasons, following studies that revealed many tourism vehicles operate without permits. He has coordinated with local police for enforcement starting in May, including prior socialisation for drivers to ensure a smooth process. This initiative comes amid a recent surge in tourist visits that caused severe fuel queue backups and road jams at key filling stations.",
        "content": "<p>Klungkung Regent I Made Satria will soon regulate travel businesses\nin Nusa Penida that lack route permits. This regulation is aimed at\naddressing the congestion that often occurs during peak tourist\nseasons.<\/p>\n<p>Satria revealed that the local government has conducted several\nstudies on handling congestion in Nusa Penida. The studies found\nnumerous tourism vehicles operating without official permits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have conducted studies to reduce congestion. In particular, this\nconcerns licensing. Almost the majority of vehicles used for tourism\nactivities are unlicensed. We will regulate that,\u201d Satria stated to the\nmedia on Monday (11\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>As a follow-up to these findings, Satria said he has coordinated with\nthe Klungkung Police Resort for the crackdown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd the Chief of Police has approved it. So in May, we will visit\nNusa Penida to directly assess the situation,\u201d Satria added.<\/p>\n<p>The politician from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle\n(PDIP) also urged drivers and tourism business operators in the travel\naccommodation sector to prepare.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, we will conduct socialisation for drivers in Nusa Penida\nto prepare. It won\u2019t be sudden raids,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, Ni Wayan Sirat, a Junior Expert in Licensing at the\nKlungkung Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP),\nexplained that to date, they have not compiled data on travel operation\npermits in Nusa Penida. This is because such businesses fall into the\nlow-risk category under the Online Single Submission (OSS) system, which\ncan be processed directly without recommendations from related regional\nagencies.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, they still have the authority to conduct monitoring and\nevaluation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the data is available, we can also check it. How many have\npermits in OSS. However, we haven\u2019t processed it yet. Additionally,\nrelated agencies can also perform monitoring and evaluation. In this\ncase, the tourism or transportation department,\u201d Sirat clarified.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the Nusa Penida tourist area experienced a significant\nsurge in tourist visits. This situation triggered long queues of\nvehicles at several fuel stations, even causing congestion on Tuesday\n(5\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The vehicle queues were dominated by tourism transport cars lining up\nand encroaching on the road. The worst density occurred at three main\npoints, namely the Batumulapan Premium and Diesel Oil Agent (APMS),\nSental APMS, and the Banjar Nyuh petrol station.<\/p>",
