The Bali provincial government has recently released updated guidelines for the international tourist levy, effective from early 2025. This initiative continues to aim at preserving the cultural heritage and environment of the island.
Key Updates
Starting this year, the process for payment has been streamlined with more digital payment points at the airport and major tourist attractions. The levy remains at IDR 150,000 per person.
Where Does the Money Go?
Transparency is key. The funds are allocated to:
- Cultural preservation programs, including temple maintenance and support for traditional arts.
- Environmental management, specifically waste management solutions in high-traffic areas like Ubud and Kuta.
- Quality infrastructure improvements to ensure tourist safety and comfort.
Travelers are encouraged to pay the levy online before arrival to avoid queues. talkUbud can assist you with the direct link to the official payment portal.
