A Balinese religious leader has welcomed measures to curb tourists' inappropriate behaviour after a string of incidents prompted authorities to issue “how to behave” guidelines.
Bali has introduced new 'how to behave' guidelines, which will be issued to tourists upon arrival.
In an effort to improve tourist behaviour on the Indonesian island, the local government is taking preventative measures, and has released a new card listing 'do's and don'ts', which will be issued to visitors upon arrival. "If you look at the actual recommendations and rules themselves - many of which virtually all Australians would do - it's about cultural sensitivity doing the right thing," he told SBS News.
"It's a very small minority, but you do see examples of really bad behaviour; lack of respect for the rules ... people getting into fights, examples of tourists trying to run their own businesses," he said.
