Stop hotel building frenzy, urges Bali Tourism
Calls for a temporary halt on licences to build new hotels in Bali are likely to fall on deaf ears.
The Bali Tourism Board is among those on the island calling for a moratorium on new hotel building licences.
BTB said that earlier calls by Bali’s governor for a moratorium had been ignored by regional leaders, who viewed the governor’s demand as lacking the force of law.
The chairman of the BTB, Ngurah Wijaya, told local media, “Everyone wants to invest in Bali, everyone wants to own accommodation in Bali; there must now be some limitation.â€
He said there were limited infrastructure, water and electricity supplies to cope with extra hotel rooms.
However, rules on regional autonomy allow regents and municipal officials to ignore instructions issued by a provincial governor, says Bali Update>/i> (www.balidiscovery.com)
The final authority to issue licences for hotel construction lies at the regency level.
