The impact of the G20 on the tourism sector in Bali

The G20 summit is said to be a powerful impetus for the recovery of Bali's tourism industry, which has suffered as a result of the pandemic. What impact does the G20 event have on tourism actors in Bali? Many tourist attractions appear to be in high demand, particularly from foreign visitors. One of them is in the Kuta area of Bali, where the average hotel occupancy rate exceeds 80%. They are not delegates, but rather tourists on vacation in Bali.


I Wayan Rodiyana, a hotel manager in the Kuta beach area, stated that his hotel has been filled to 90 percent capacity since October. Tourism stakeholders anticipate a positive impact of the G20 Summit. As a result, Bali will recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.


"In the third quarter of this year, Bali's economy grew by 8.1 percent year on year (YoY).This represents a significant increase over the previous quarter's 3.05 percent " Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno, Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy (Parekraf), stated.


Bali's economic growth is expected to remain strong in the fourth quarter of this year. Apart from the benefits of the G20 Summit, it also coincides with the Christmas and New Year holidays in 2022 and 2023 (Nataru).


He predicted that international flights to Bali and other Indonesian locations will now become more frequent.


After the G20 Summit, Sandiaga's party will try to increase the number of international flights to Indonesia to improve the tourism sector. This will be accompanied by promotional efforts, digitization, and the development of a variety of new tour packages for domestic and international tourists." We plan to combine various Bali and other destinations with cruise packages or cruise tours," he said


According to some of the impact descriptions above, holding the G20 Presidency will breathe new life into the Indonesian economy, particularly for entrepreneurs in the Bali tourism sector.
