Meanwhile, Badung Regency Regional Secretary I Wayan Adi Arnawa said that his party needed to anticipate the decline in the number of Chinese tourists visiting by boosting foreign tourists from Europe.

“If we look at the international world in relation to this attitude, it seems like we can’t help but have to take action, it needs to be anticipated because the target we set is quite large. Even in the first quarter it has decreased, hopefully the next quarter there will be a change”, Arnawa said when met at the State Finance Building after attending the Rakorda Distribution of Physical DAK and Village Fund 2020, at the State Finance Building (GKN) I Denpasar, Tuesday (1/28/2020).

He explained his team could not depend on one country even though the reality of Chinese tourists visiting was quite large in addition to Australian tourists. Therefore European tourists can be encouraged to visit Bali.

“I see European tourists visiting to rise, thus helping to increase our income. To be honest, if we are honest the quality of tourism is even though quantitative is low from China but in revenue from Europe is greater”, he said.

When compared to 3,000 European tourists visit with 5,000 Chinese tourists, the quality is better than tourists from Europe. Because they live in star-rated hotels that have high taxes.

Arnawa claimed not to be able to predict conditions in the first quarter of this year. He said, in the first month and receipt in January was also still quite good because of the results from December.

So what happens in January will be seen in February, March. If there is a decrease and it is not on target then there is really a decrease and it is not on target.

Badung means targeting IDR 4.7 trillion in tax revenue by 2020. While Local Own Revenue (PAD) is IDR 5.3 trillion.
