At the beginning of 2026, the Governor of Bali accompanied the Minister of Tourism of the Republic of Indonesia on a working visit aimed at strengthening the government’s commitment to ensuring that Bali remains a world-class tourist destination by providing excellent, safe, and sustainable services for both domestic and international visitors. This commitment was reaffirmed as part of efforts to maintain tourists’ trust and to further enhance Bali’s image as the face of Indonesian tourism. Service quality was emphasized as a key factor in enhancing the overall tourist experience. Beyond accommodation and transportation facilities, excellent service also includes the hospitality of tourism human resources, security, environmental cleanliness, and compliance with prevailing regulations. Tourists who feel safe and comfortable are more likely to have positive impressions and to return to Bali in the future. As part of the working visit agenda, the Minister of Tourism, accompanied by the Governor of Bali, visited Puri Agung Ubud, one of Bali’s historical and the cultural centre, the visit reflected the government’s commitment to supporting cultural preservation as a core attraction of Bali’s tourism. On this occasion, the Governor of Bali and the Minister of Tourism held direct discussions with tourism industry stakeholders. The dialogue addressed various strategic issues, including the organization of tourism events, the development of supporting infrastructure, and accommodation licensing, with the aim of fostering culturally based and sustainable tourism in Bali. The Governor of Bali also underscored the importance of synergy among the central government, regional governments, tourism industry players, and local communities. Such collaboration is considered crucial to creating high-quality tourism with global competitiveness. Regional governments are encouraged to continue supervision and guidance, while tourism businesses are expected to enhance service standards and professionalism. Through these strategic measures, the government remains optimistic that Bali will begin 2026 with increasingly high-quality tourism performance. The consistency of excellent services is expected to strengthen Bali’s position as a world-class destination while making a tangible contribution to the national economy and community welfare.
