Bali raised tourists’ hopes by announcing its planned reopening for September 11, 2020, but the popular island has since re-evaluated. As the number of COVID-19 cases are increasing in Indonesia, Bali decided to remain closed to international visitors for the remainder of 2020.
Wayan Koster, the governor of Bali, said in a statement, “The Indonesian government couldn’t reopen its doors to foreign travelers until the end of 2020 as we remain a red zone. The situation is not conducive to allowing foreign tourists to come to Indonesia, including to Bali.”
