TEMPO.CO, Bali - The tourism industry in Bali is planning to target travelers from nearby countries, such as Thailand, Myanmar, and Vietnam, once the province is reopened for international visitors under the new normal protocols.
The industry and all stakeholders engaged in tourism and the creative economy in Bali are currently preparing for the new normalization of tourism by implementing hygiene, health, and safety protocols, said secretary of the Association of Indonesian Tours and Travel Agencies (Bali), I Putu Winastra, in a statement received here on Saturday.
"The protocol will be applied to every tourism sector, including transportation, accommodation, restaurants, and all tourism objects," he informed.
The protocol has been prepared based on visitors’ travel profiles, and focuses on three things: cleanliness, health, and safety.
Under the protocol, tourists planning to visit Bali would have to carry some documents, including a statement declaring them COVID-19 free, their itinerary, and details of their arrival date.
