Indonesia’s president is optimistic about Bali’s green zones: ‘Safe and comfortable’
A mass vaccination campaign is under way on Bali. People working in the tourism industry are among those vaccinated. “That is why they, the tourists, will later feel safe and comfortable while staying on Bali.”
The remark comes from Joko Widodo, known as Jokowi, the president of Indonesia.
- “We are optimistic that the vaccination process will continue and that the goal we have set will be reached.”
‘Green zones’ fully open to tourists
That goal is a corona-free corridor through ‘green zones’. According to ANTARA, the Indonesian government's news agency, these are Ubud, Sanur and Nusa Dua.
Ubud is in the district of Gianyar, Sanur in the city of Denpasar and Nusa Dua in the district of Badung.
- “We are optimistic that these will become green zones , green zones we can open fully to tourists”, Jokowi says.
The president goes on: “With our focus on these three zones, the revival of the tourism sector in the province of Bali will begin.”
Sanur, Denpasar
In Sanur the aim is to vaccinate 35,000 people, 8,000 of them ‘hotel staff’. Universities and private clinics are involved in the vaccination campaign too.
A weekly review of Bali’s green zones
So there is a mass vaccination campaign. Indonesia is also seeing a ‘clear decline’ in the number of daily coronavirus cases.
Head of state Jokowi remains watchful as well. He wants to carry out a weekly review in the three zones. “Particularly to evaluate the rollout of the vaccination programme and the state of Bali in general”, the news agency says.
A sun holiday on Bali in 2021: Can I go to Bali?
JaIt looks more and more as though you can. This summer should ‘in principle’ be feasible. Bali could do with international tourism after the slump caused by COVID-19.
On the other hand, scenarios are always conceivable in which the reopening is postponed, unexpected setbacks in the vaccination campaign for instance.
