Pollution hurts Bali's tourism

Pollution hurts Bali's tourism

In the second time within a year at Kuta Beach in Bali, I had
the same experience with pollution.

Basically, the whole beach and sea were full of plastic bags,
waste and rubbish. Negligence was shown by officials and hotels'
management to take the action to simply clean the beaches.
People did not enter the sea and complained bitterly at the hotel
swimming pools. It seems the waste is dumped into the sea without
considering the negative impact on the tourist industry. If this
behavior of dumping waste into the sea is not stopped
immediately, one of the tourist paradises will be destroyed
forever and leave Indonesia without the urgent required revenue
from the tourist industry.

I hope that officials take note of this problem and implement
appropriate actions!
