Special police patrols will, from Tuesday, stop tourists to check that the fee has been paid.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tourist paradise of Bali introduced a tourist fee on February 14th. According to the authorities, the revenue is intended to make the island's tourism sustainable and protect its unique ecology and culture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the future, the collection of tourist fees in Bali will protect nature and keep the island clean and sustainable. But they will also play a vital role in protecting and promoting Balinese culture, which includes customs, traditions, cultural creation, and local wisdom to maintain Bali's spiritual aura, says Sandiaga Uno, Indonesia's Minister of Tourism to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news.com.au\/travel\/destinations\/asia\/bali\/bali-cops-to-stop-all-tourists-for-one-reason\/news-story\/5fea4542658222626e82d7b61ff4d9fe\">news.com.au<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before the pandemic, over 50,000 Swedes visited Indonesia.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2019, before the pandemic crippled the global tourism industry, 56,000 Swedes visited Indonesia, according to statistics from the Indonesian Embassy in Stockholm.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00d6n Bali has long been known as a magnet for Swedish backpackers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, going forward, they will have to fork out the modest but mandatory tourist fee of $15 to enjoy the island's attractions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Australian tourists alone are expected to contribute $18 million through the tourist fee this year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Police patrols will check that tourists pay<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the juicy revenues, the island's tourism authority estimates that around 60 percent of tourists visiting the island have not paid the fee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Special patrols from the island's tourism police will therefore carry out fee checks at the island's major attractions from March 26th. Tourists who have paid the fee will receive a special voucher emailed to them, which the police officers will ask tourists to show.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those who have not paid will be asked to pay. There is not yet any decision on penalty fees or other repercussions for tourists who have not paid the fee.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source:
