Faced with overtourism, is Bali becoming a paradise lost?

However, Bali wants to have more customers to make up for lost time, and lost hospitality receipts, when the crisis laid waste to its business. In 2021, just 51 international travellers visited the island, compared with 6.3 million in 2019.
