Tourism has poured billions of dollars into Bali over decades. Where has it all gone?

He drank a joke with everyone. And echoed. The response to the video was so crushing that the authorities stopped by ında asking the purpose of the video ”.

“I explained and noted my explanation, that meant a joke, Dw says Dwi, Dwi says Dwi.

“They said it was planned to be corrected.”

It wasn’t.

Social tasks are light -hearted, only aggressive to Bali’s civilian business bosses. But they draw something more serious than broken paths.

I visit Bali half regularly for the job, and most days I was disappointed with something. It is usually a matter of wandering around.

I always go back to the question. Why is the infrastructure so bad?

Tourism has poured billions of dollars into Bali for decades. Where did everything go?

Traffic does not end. Even the only and single paid road built on the sea to alleviate the blockage before the 2013 APEC Summit, a bottleneck caused by a badly designed traffic light junction in Benoa.

“Always like this,” he said.

There is no train despite talking for years. And don’t drink tap water.

Every street and road trash lines. Once intact mangrvlar was clogged with items – and it would be worse that local volunteers did not pass through the mud with garbage bags to clean.

Some may say that this is part of “charm .. I’m not doing it. My lament is not for visitors. For the ordinary balines that deserve better than AUD, USD and rivers flowing to the island.

Where did the money go?

Short answer Jakarta.

Almost all taxes collected in Bali are directly directed to the central government. “Later, he goes all over Indonesia, Dr says Dr Agug Kerawan Wiranatha, who is a tourism and environment expert at the Udayana University of Bali.

“If the contributions are associated with the money re -deposited in a field, the poor remain poor and the rich become richer.”

In this sense, Bali is a bit like Western Australia’s GST distribution of Australia.

Unlike Western Australians, Balinese never really complained.

Nevertheless, the fact that his pies deserve a larger slice was quite reasonable, last year, the provincial government imposed a 15 -dollar tourist tax of each of the six million foreign tourists that each of the six million foreign tourists annually. The problem is just one -third.

The government does not fully help its own reason. Signs about tax disappeared at the airport. There are definitely no payment meters. Online is good, but many visitors are unaware of their obligations.

Another problem of money stems from corruption in Indonesia. In addition, some laws are easy to skip. For example, foreigners who want to start a job need to collect a certain amount of capital. But why is it cheaper to establish a local as the owner?

Books say that profit will go to an Indonesia, but money is actually wind in Australia and European bank accounts instead of wandering in the local economy.

Even above, Agung says that five -star international hotel chains spend or send more than half of their departure abroad.

For all disappointments, people, especially Australians, love the place. We compensate for about one quarter of foreign tourists more than other countries.

However, the island’s strategy or deficiency chose to ın Publish for good times karşı against sustainable growth.

“No city planning, Ağ says AGGG.

Stores, villas, houses and restaurants, sometimes with approvals, came out everywhere to make money. Sometimes not. The provincial government is now trying to organize a historical bandit construction, especially at Binggin Beach.

A decline in the Bali Sea. Between the airport and Kuta, Seminak and Canggu, the Slapdash accumulation of buildings and livelihoods, the idea of ​​street expansion, turned into election poison.

Balinese has a concept called Tri Hita Karana. He acknowledges that happiness is due to the health of the person’s relationship with divine, other people and nature. This, which was fused by the law, prevented Spoiling Apartment towers with the horizon.

However, it is easy to adjust the height limits. Preventing small -scale construction is more difficult, especially when it deals with jacarta building applications.

You will find plenty of spirituality and honor in Bali. Tri Hita Karana terms in the terms tick and tick. However, in most of the island, it is not important what social media impressers like to send, but harmony with the environment is more difficult.

The Governor of Bali and the Minister of Indonesian Environment associated the deadly floods that this month described as the worst they have ever seen with excessive development. Hotels and restaurants in the forested regions, and new developments in the small agricultural areas of Denpasar and its surroundings are now banned indefinitely.

The moratorium will be popular between the ordinary Balinese, who are tired of the wrong tourists, and the islands looting for the wife of other people.

In Ubud, Dwi Ermalanthi of The Walking Tour is wondering how difficult it can be to correct the paths.

After the first joke video, the workers, nicknamed “Brianna” (the name of one of the cups of the tank Surfing).

The work was done so bad He took a follow -upTo borrow this Princess Diaries. Like Bali themselves, it is open -hearted and funny. If they are more impatient, they can get their governments to correct something. They can also go crazy.
