Bali aims to reopen to international tourism with a corona-free corridor
Indonesia is working on putting in place a corona-free corridor on Bali. That would let foreign tourists return to the tropical sun destination. Reopening international tourism is high on the agenda.
Sun holiday on Bali in 2021: Can I go to Bali?
- In 2020 the whole world went to code orange (essential travel only) because of COVID-19.
- Bali has since opened to domestic tourism. But there are plans for further easing.
- The minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Sandiaga Uno, is aiming for a corona-free corridor.
Airlines and tour operators are keen to establish such corridors too. As NPO Radio 1 reported Bali will be reachable that way ‘this summer’. So yes, that is when you can go to Bali.
Green zones on Bali against corona
Popular tourist spots have been designated green zones, according to the AAP (Australian Associated Press).
First, Ubud is named explicitly. Second, Nusa Dua, says the Australian news agency. Lastly, the district of Gianyar as a whole is said to form a Green Zone .
Several sources also name Sanur, Kuta and Nusa Penida as potential ‘Green Zones’.
Corona-free corridor: Bali's Green Zones get priority for vaccination
The ‘cultural heart’ (Ubud, Gianyar and Nusa Dua) is given priority in the vaccination strategy. That is how the desired corona-free corridor comes about.
It is the first step towards reopening the Indonesian island to the outside world.
Looking forward to Bali, and at its sights
Travel and lifestyle platform dionvacation offers some anticipation around your possible sun holiday to Bali.
- Take a look at the rice terraces of Tegalalang, the beach club La Brisa Bali and the Pengibul waterfall.
A sun holiday in Europe: Greece opens from May
If Bali feels like one bridge, or flight, too far, a sun holiday in Europe is an option too. Greece has announced that it will open its gates to foreign tourists from May.
The Greeks are making themselves heard in Europe anyway. Together with Malta and Portugal, Greece is calling for a vaccination passport.
Tourists from Israel are already welcome, thanks to the decisive vaccination policy and the travel bubble that comes with it.
