The
Indonesian government is speeding up vaccination efforts in Bali in
hopes of achieving herd immunity quicker and reopen the island’s borders
to international travellers under a free Covid-19 travel corridor by
mid-year.
Speaking to the media at the Bali Investment Forum
held in Bali last Friday (March 26), Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan,
coordinating minister of maritime affairs and investment, said that the
government is striving to vaccinate 1.8 or nearly two million people in
Bali by April, and another one million people by May, with hopes of
achieving herd immunity in July. Sanur

A group of foreign ambassadors attended
the Bali Investment Forum to witness the implementation of the
Cleanliness, Health, Safety, and Environment Sustainability (CHSE)
protocols in the destination, in a bid to show that the island stands
ready to welcome back tourists and investors.
With president
Jokowi hoping to see the reopening of international borders by June or
July, Bali has selected three green zones, namely, Ubud, Sanur, and Nusa
Dua, to receive international tourists from countries that have forged
travel corridor agreements with Indonesia.
Sandiaga Uno,
minister of tourism and creative economy, told TTG Asia that his office
will monitor the foreign visitors’ movements in the three green zones
digitally and physically to minimise their potential contact with people
outside the zones.
“The focus is to ensure that the travellers
conduct their activities within the three zones,” he said, adding that
there would be checkpoints on the sites.
Sandiaga explained that
the travel corridor used a point-to-point concept that would link Bali
to certain countries, and during a trial run, the island might first
welcome chartered flights to test and evaluate the system.
The
minister also expects that the foreign tourist visits will be organised
by travel companies so their staff can help monitor their clients’
movements within the green zones.
Commenting on the plan, Ricky
Setiawanto, secretary general of the Indonesia inbound Tour Operator
Association, said: “What we have suggested to the government is to
create attractions and activities within the green zones to keep
travellers entertained during their stay, although their movements are
limited to just the zones.”
Examples he cited include
traditional dances, handicraft-making demos, and cooking classes. Ricky
said: “They do not have to be compulsory itineraries in the holiday
package, but attractions and activities that are available to travellers
should they be keen.” – Additional reporting by Mimi Hudoyo
