Bali authorities crack down on sub-standard tourist hotels
DENPASAR – Illegal tourist class hotels in Bali are being closed down after a concerted effort to improve standards by local government officials, police and health and tourism officials.
Bali Update (www.balidiscovery.com), quoting local reports, said that 44 tourist class hotels recently failed to earn security and safety certificates issued by the government of Bali.
From a total of 60 hotels examined, only 16 hotels earned certification. Moreover, from the 16 hotels none qualified for the highest gold level of certification, while two earned silver certificates and the remaining 14 bronze.
According to the Chief of Tours for Denpasar, Putu Budiasa, the main cause for the failure among the 44 hotels who failed to earn certification was a non-professional “family style” management and minimum levels of security personnel and equipment in place.
