Thus far, there hasn’t been any negative feedback from tourists, indicating successful government communication about the tourist tax in Bali. Ida Bagus Agung Partha Adnyana, Chairman of the Bali Regional Indonesian Tourism Industry Association, suggests that the Bali government could collect over IDR 1 trillion in the upcoming year.

The tourism levy policy exempts individuals with diplomatic visas, permanent stay permit cards (KITAP), limited stay permit cards (KITAS), family reunification visas, student visas, golden visas, and others.

The primary objective of this tourist tax is to bolster the foundation of Bali’s tourism industry, enhancing its quality and sustainability. The Bali government aims to achieve 7 million foreign tourist visits by 2024, with tourism levy income projected to constitute 60-70% of the total tourist count.

This tourist tax is governed by Law Number 15 of 2023 concerning the Province of Bali and is supported by Regional Regulation Number 6 of 2023 concerning Levies for Foreign Tourists for the Protection of Bali’s Culture and Natural Environment.
