Officials from the Bali Tourism Agency have confirmed that the government has planned to partially reopen the international travel corridor.

I Putu Astawa, the Head of the Bali Tourism Agency, acknowledged that he had lately learned of the government's plan to partially reopen the international transport corridor in the near future. “In response to tourism enterprises in Bali's demand to open our border for foreign passengers, the government finally plans to test the reopening of Bali's international travel corridor in the near future.” Astawa stated this on Sunday (5/9).

According to Astawa, Bali is now ready to accommodate foreign visitors because it has previously met all of the standards for opening the border to internal travelers. “We have prepared all of the standards, such as vaccination all tourist workers and certifying the accommodation businesses with Clean Health Safety and Environment (CHSE) with tight preventative methods before they can operate and receive visitors.” Astawa elaborated.

However, Astawa cautioned the administration to use extreme caution during implementation by partially reopening the travel bubble with other countries. “By applying the necessary screening that we have been conducting for domestic visitors, we can ensure that they will not transmit the virus when they enter or exit from Bali.” Astawa concluded. Apart from that, Astawa warns everyone that when the border reopens, international tourists must be sent to the green zone sections of Covid-19.
