flag Bali’s tourism revenue fails to improve local infrastructure despite a $15 tourist fee, as funds are mismanaged and profits leave the island.

flag Despite generating billions from tourism, Bali suffers from severe infrastructure deficits, including congested roads, unsafe sidewalks, and inadequate waste management. flag A $15 tourist levy intended to fund local development sees low compliance due to weak enforcement, while much of the revenue flows to Jakarta with little reinvestment on the island. flag Foreign investors and major hotel chains often route profits overseas, and unchecked construction has led to environmental damage and poor urban planning. flag Residents, not tourists, bear the brunt of deteriorating living conditions, sparking growing concern over where tourism revenue truly goes.
