The Covid-19 pandemic has had a real impact on various aspects of human life, including tourism as a part of the economy. Social restrictions during the pandemic caused visits of both domestic and foreign tourists to drop dramatically.

As the pandemic is increasingly under control, the government is intensifying economic recovery; one way to do so is by boosting tourist visits and by optimizing the volume of visits to mainstay destinations, such as the island of Bali.
