Bali Tourism Office Strengthens Levy Compliance with Destination Inspections

To ensure the smooth implementation of the Foreign Tourist Levy, the Bali Provincial Tourism Office is conducting inspections at key tourist destinations. This initiative aims to verify that foreign visitors have completed their levy payments and hold the required levy vouchers, reinforcing Bali’s commitment to sustainable tourism.

The inspections, running from March 19 to March 25, 2025, cover various iconic locations. On the first day, checks were carried out at Besakih Temple, Bali’s most revered spiritual site, as well as at a partner travel agency facilitating levy payments. The second day focused on Tanah Lot and Uluwatu, two of Bali’s most visited landmarks, renowned for their stunning scenery and cultural significance.

This initiative will continue at other major attractions, ensuring full compliance with the levy policy introduced in 2024. The revenue collected from the levy directly supports environmental conservation, cultural preservation, and the overall sustainability of Bali’s tourism sector.

The Bali Tourism Office encourages all foreign visitors to complete their levy payments before exploring the island. Payment can be made through official platforms, offering a seamless process that enhances the overall visitor experience.

Tourism businesses and local communities also play a crucial role in this effort by spreading awareness and assisting visitors in understanding the levy’s importance. With collective participation, this policy can help protect Bali’s cultural and natural heritage, ensuring that the island remains a world-class destination for years to come.
