On April 12, Bali Governor Wayan Koster stated that Russian tourists must respect the island, adding: “If we don’t take care of it, Bali will disappear.”
The governor emphasized that Bali should be considered not only a place for recreation and investment but also as a “treasure of the world” that all visitors must jointly protect. He warned that without such protection, Bali would lose its current “attractive appearance.”
Additionally, on April 11, Koster had previously cautioned that tourists violating state law could face deportation or legal action. He urged all guests to follow rules and behave respectfully to ensure Bali remains calm, comfortable, and safe for everyone.
