Bali tourism has proven to be back to normal with tourist arrivals increasing. We can see this development from tourist visits to Bali’s International Airport to tourist attractions. Domestic tourist visits to this paradise island still dominate. It is because the school holiday season has started. Likewise, foreign tourist visits continue to increase with the addition of the number of direct flights to Bali. It is, of course, very influential with business activities on the island of the gods, which were previously very sluggish. All business in Bali comes from tourism. So, this is the motor of Bali’s economic movement.
The Tunjung Boutique Resort editor once wrote about tourism developments after the COVID-19 pandemic in Bali. The editor has written that Bali tourism will soon return to normal. Today, we can see the situation of tourism development in several areas in Bali. The increase in tourist arrivals has far increased from before.

The current development of Bali tourism also impacts tourist visits to tourist attractions. Foreign and domestic tourists have started to crowd the tourist spots. The editor’s monitoring of tourist visits has shown that Bali tourism has shown positive developments. The following is a monitoring of tourist visits to several well-known tourist attractions in Bali as a barometer of tourism development on this paradise island.
Kuta Beach
Kuta Beach is a favourite beach in Bali, with white sand stretching 5 kilometres from the Tuban area to Seminyak. This beach has become a tourist attraction for foreign and domestic tourists. This beach offers natural charm with good waves for surfing and stunning views of the Indian Ocean. Also, tourists can swim on the beach and relax while enjoying the sunset. Currently, tourist visits to this beach are already crowded. Visits of foreign and domestic tourists continue to increase every day. It has impacted the economy of the Kuta area, which is famous for its complete tourist attractions ranging from hotels, restaurants, bars, and art shops to nightclubs.
Tanah Lot
Tanah Lot is one of the famous tourist attractions in the western part of the island of Bali. This place offers a beautiful natural charm with a spectacular sunset. Tourist visits to Tanah Lot have increased rapidly. Currently, tourist visits are 5000 every day. It is much different from the previous situation where the tourist visits were less than 1000 per day. So, this has shown a fantastic improvement.
Ulun Danu Beratan Bedugul
In line with the increase in tourist visits to Bali, the Ulun Danu Beratan tourist attraction also increased tourist visits. We can monitor tourists visiting tourist attractions with a temple above this lake. Currently, tourists are booming to visit this place. It is very much different from the previous condition. However, tourist visits are still dominated by domestic tourists.
Canggu
Canggu is a newly developed tourist area on the island of the gods. This area is the only area in Bali that is never empty of tourists, even during the pandemic. Other tourist attractions in Bali have been quiet during the pandemic. But this is very different with Canggu. Canggu is a favourite area for tourists, especially foreign tourists. This place is also the area where The Tunjung Boutique Resort is located. Canggu has advantages that other places don’t have.
