The Australian government reported a rising number of people caught dengue fever in the country’s regions. Most of them are known to have traveled to Indonesia’s widely popular tourist region, Bali.
Negative sentiment from the Down Under surely catches attention since Australians are Bali’s largest tourist contributor. They always top the number of visitors by country, and 141,395 Australians visited Bali in October, as reported by Bali Central Statistics.
“For Australians, Bali is their second home and escape to keep away from extreme weather during winter. I believe Bali remains the best choice for some Australians,” Badung Regent I Nyoman Giri Prasta told NusaBali.com in Berawa on Friday (12/13).
Asked about the local government measures due to the dengue fever threat, he assured that every community health center (Puskesmas) in Bali has the so-called Jumantik staff. They supervise whether there are wrigglers in villages and neighborhoods to dismantle the Aedes aegypti and albopictus mosquito life cycle.
Giri hoped that the travel warning would not affect this year-end holiday season. “We respect the Australian government on this warning, but we shouldn’t have to take it further to which it is proliferated by certain media and become a black campaign to our tourism,” he added.
Bali may not be just Badung, one of the island’s eight regencies and one city. However, more than half of lodging in Bali resides in the tourism-reliant, richest Bali region.
Artur Gerber, managing director at TUI Hotels & Resorts said certain sentiments would influence lodging demands, but he hoped it would not be “that much.” The German group and the world's largest tourism company has just opened their first five-star hotel in Indonesia, in Berawa, Badung, Bali.
He added, that Bali should not make tourists from certain origins the kingpins of the island's tourism industry. “If here and there’re some lack of demands, we’d try to gain all the demands from other regions.”
In a conversation with NusaBali.com in Berawa on Friday, Gerber assured that he was “confident” with the business his company just ran in Bali.
Meanwhile, Anthon Hilman, a hotel owner in Berawa told NusaBali.com that the Australia travel warning did not have an impact on his business. “For now, no reservation canceled for that,” he told NusaBali.com in Berawa on Friday.
Hilman is the owner of TUI Blue Berawa Hotel & Villas, the most luxurious lodging offered in the Berawa-Canggu area. With TUI Group, he just launched a soft opening on Friday and has his 119-room and 14-villa accommodation already fully booked for the year-end holiday.
“TUI Group traveled around the globe with more than 36 million guests last year and this issue (Australia travel warning) I believe will not affect us,” he said. *rat
