An official from Bali Tourism Agency has confirmed that 12 international visitors will be arriving at Bali Ngurah Rai Airport on February 3rd 2022.
The Head of the Bali Tourism Agency, Tjok Bagus Pemayun, confirmed that 12 international visitors are scheduled to arrive at Bali Ngurah Rai Airport on Thursday (3/2). They will be departing from the Narita International Airport in Japan with Garuda Airlines.
Despite receiving only a small number of tourists after the government announced changes to the travel requirements, Pemayun ensured that officials are prepared with the best procedures to welcome the visitors.
“The Governor of Bali and I will be there to witness the arrival of the Garuda Airlines flight tomorrow,” Pemayun said on Wednesday (2/2). He confirmed that the flight would have 12 passengers on board.
“According to the information, 6 of the 12 passengers are Japanese. We’re grateful to hear such good news and hope that this is the beginning of the revival of our tourism sector,” Pemayun added. He also explained that Bali has 64 quarantine hotels across the island, but only 21 were included under the bubble program.
“Of the 21 bubble hotels, only five will be ready to operate as quarantine facilities by February 3rd. Visitors will be able to leave their rooms during quarantine and roam around the entire hotel areas,” Pemayun concluded.
The five hotels include Viceroy Bali Ubud, The Westin Nusa Dua, Griya Santrian Sanur, Royal Tulip Springhill Jimbaran, and Grand Hyatt.

I believe the 12 people on that flight are travel agents and their family not tourist, even so imagine getting excited about 12 tourist after being open to international tourist for 4 months

Why we have to do 5 days quarantine, it has no meaning, if I come 10days I have to spend 5 in quarantine, no logic at all, instead I will be vaccinated, and ready to bring PCR 72 hours validity and ready to do PCR on arrival als but no quarantine pls I will book one month in hotel in Bali

Obviously the central goverment isn't only focused on Bali. Yet i think they should treat Bali uniquely as its economy is heavily dependant on tourism. They can maintain their restrictions for the country whilst fully opening Bali in a pilot or sandbox scheme. If you ask the Balinese people what they want im sure they would agree and support a scheme like this.

The decision to maintain quarantine (even for triple vaccinated) is utter nonsense. The government probably has no idea about political decisions that would be good for the people. I have been to Maldives, Sri Lanka and Dubai in the past few weeks and no country has required quarantine. All three countries are full of tourists and everyone is quite happy... and laughing at Bali and other holiday islands living in panic and self-pity.
No one will come to Bali als long they have to go to quarantine. Very, very sure. There are to many other places around the World, where you can go and enjoy the life.
Sorry Bali, but that's the truth.
