Bali tourism stable despite global geopolitical tensions: govt

“We are monitoring the global situation very closely. However, field data shows that Bali’s tourism performance over the last few weeks remains stable, with hotel occupancy rates holding steady,” Tourism Minister Widiyanti Putri Wardhana said in a statement on Thursday.

She added that the figures indicate Bali remains a trusted and popular destination for international travelers.

Government monitoring shows tourism activities in Bali are proceeding well, with hotel occupancy rates at healthy levels.

Data collected by the ministry as of January 4, 2026, show that in Badung District—Bali’s main tourism hub—around 52 percent of hotels reported occupancy between 41 and 69 percent, while 36 percent reached 70 to 80 percent.

In Gianyar District, 53.8 percent of hotels recorded occupancy between 41 and 69 percent, 23.1 percent were in the 70 to 80 percent range, and a small portion reached 81 to 100 percent.

Wardhana noted that while occupancy rates vary, overall tourism activity continues to show stable performance.

She emphasized that the government will keep coordinating with industry players and strengthen marketing strategies in key markets to sustain momentum.

“The Ministry of Tourism is optimistic that with the attractiveness of our destinations, the quality of the tourism experience, and close cooperation between government and industry, Indonesia remains in a strong position as a preferred destination for global travelers,” she said.
