Indonesia state news agency Antara reports that Bali's local government is considering a temporary halt on new construction of hotels, villas, discos and beach clubs to address overtourism and overdevelopment.
Bali acting governor Sang Made Mahendra Jaya stated that the moratorium could last up to two years and would focus on popular tourist areas like Denpasar, Badung, Gianyar and Tabanan.
Other tourist destinations similarly seek to clamp down on overtourism by limiting new hotels and regulating vacation rentals. Amsterdam, for example, recently imposed strict rules on building hotels in its city center, only allowing a new hotel if another one shuts down.
