DENPASAR, KOMPAS – The Bali government and tourism industry players are trying to convince travelers that it is still safe to visit Bali. However, entry to the eruption-prone zone around Mt. Agung was still prohibited on Tuesday (3/10/2017) evening as the mountain still held its alert status.

“Bali is still safe for travelers. We have prepared the necessary steps to face the threat of the Mt. Agung eruption,” Bali Governor Made Mangku Pastika said in Bali on Tuesday.
