Australia to be part of a 'travel bubble' with Indonesia that will allow Bali travel soon - but plan would let in tourists from CHINA too

There certainly is a lot of conflicting information over whether Australians will be returning to Bali's shores in the near future. 

From what I've heard there is very little chance of Australians returning before the end of the year, unfortunately.

But not to dismay because there are lots of other countries that can fill the gap including one of the largest countries in the world China who are biting at the bit to come back to Bali.

If Australians want to return to Bali they better put some pressure on their politicians soon. Otherwise they will be spending two to three times as much to vacation in their own country.

Not to forget that nothing will happen until the Bali government approves foreigners returning to Bali.

Australians could soon be holidaying in Bali if a 'travel bubble' with Indonesia goes ahead.

The Indonesian government is reportedly planning a 'travel bubble' with Australia, China, South Korea and Japan in a desperate bid to boost tourism.

Odo Manuhutu, deputy co-ordinating minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment, said Indonesia would open its borders to those four countries before extending the offer to others.

Travellers would face 'strict health protocols' but the move would ideally revive domestic tourism (pictured: Passengers wear protective masks as they depart Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali in March)

He said they were formulating criteria for foreign travellers to enter the country, local media reported.


Travellers would face 'strict health protocols' but the move would ideally revive domestic tourism.

'After the criteria is made, negotiations will be held with those countries for two, three or four weeks. When agreements are reached, the travel bubbles will be opened,' the deputy minister said.

'In addition to the high level of tourists, there are also business interests with these four countries as well.'
The plan has been slammed as premature by some critics as the number of coronavirus cases in Indonesia continues to climb. SEE MORE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8425315/Australia-travel-bubble-Indonesia-allow-Bali-travel-soon.html
