Indonesia will reopen the resort island of Bali to select international travellers next week, a senior minister has said following the pandemic starving the holiday hotspot of one of its primary sources of income.
The island's Ngurah Rai International Airport will open for international travellers from South Korea, China, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, Dubai, and New Zealand as of October 14, maritime and investment minister Luhut Panjaitan has said, according to AFP.
The partial reopening, however, does not include Australia — a key source of tourists before the pandemic.
“Ngurah Rai Airport in Bali will open internationally on 14th October 2021, as long as it meets the provisions and requirements regarding quarantine, Covid-19 tests, and the readiness of the Task Force,” Panjaitan said.
