Countries Where Tourists Are No Longer Welcome

19. Bali, Indonesia: Combating Tourist Misbehavior

While still welcoming, Bali is increasingly expressing its frustration with a subset of tourists who disrespect local customs, religious sites, and traffic laws. The government has implemented new rules, including a tourist levy (starting Feb 2024), and has actively deported foreigners for inappropriate behavior. There are ongoing discussions about stricter visa requirements or even a quota system for certain nationalities. This signals a shift from purely welcoming to actively curating its visitor base, prioritizing cultural respect and social harmony over sheer numbers.
