Jakarta (EFE) incidents that have occurred in recent months.
The governor of Bali, Wayan Koster, today presented the list, which prohibits entering some temples except to pray, “climbing a sacred tree”, “behaviors that desecrate holy places” or “entering a sacred building and taking photos in a vulgar way or without clothes”.
In addition, tourists will not be able to “use profanity, act inappropriately, cause a nuisance and act aggressively” against the authorities, locals or other tourists on this Hindu-majority island, an exception in Indonesia, as it is the country with most Muslims in the world.
More than a hundred tourists deported from Bali
These regulations have been issued after multiple incidents involving tourists on the island in recent months, with at least 129 foreigners deported from Bali since January.
Most of the problems are caused by traffic accidents and the abuse of visas, but there have also been some cases of improper behavior to which the regulations issued today allude almost directly.
In April, a Russian woman was deported after a photo of her posing nude with her back turned in front of a 700-year-old tree sacred to locals went viral.
Days before, another citizen of the same nationality was also expelled after posing without pants in front of Mount Agung, a Balinese place of worship.
The Bali authorities have denounced since the beginning of this year that the war in Ukraine has led to Russian and Ukrainian citizens working on the island illegally.
