Bali welcomes back tourists from 8 countries including Japan.

By on October 18, 2021

Bali has partially reopened its borders as the pandemic-struck Indonesian holiday island took a step toward welcoming back tourists.

Under the new entry rules for travelers to Indonesia, foreign visitors must be fully vaccinated, quarantined in a hotel for five days and follow strict visa requirements.

But authorities in Bali said there were no international flights expected on Thursday. “We’re ready and waiting for international arrivals. But so far there’s nothing scheduled today,” said airport spokesman Taufan Yudhistira.

Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport is now open to travelers from 19 countries including South Korea, China, Japan, France, the United Arab Emirates, Dubai and New Zealand, authorities said.

The partial reopening, however, does not include Australians — a key source of the millions of tourists who flocked to the palm-fringed island before the pandemic.
Indonesia was previously devastated by the highly contagious Delta variant of the virus, recording more than 56,000 new Covid cases in just one day in mid-July.

The government announced emergency restrictions in the hardest-hit areas, shutting down non-essential businesses and limiting people’s movement.
But case numbers are now falling nationwide as the government ramps up vaccinations across the Southeast Asian archipelago of 270 million people.
Authorities have begun a steady easing of restrictions as the country sees a decrease in daily confirmed Covid cases and deaths.
