Bali is receiving another domestic tourist arrival in the adaptation period for the new era of the Covid-19 pandemic. Deputy Governor of Bali Tjokorda Oka Artha Ardana Sukawati (center) welcomes Garuda plane passengers at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, Badung, Bali, Friday (31/7/2020).

The World Tourism Organization marked 2020 as the worst year in the history of tourism. Globally, the arrival of international tourists nosedived by 74 percent, or approximately 1 billion less than the number of international tourists in 2019, due to travel restrictions amid the Covid-19 pandemic. However, following numerous adversities, the tourist sector is projected to improve and become more sustainable in the future.

The collapse of international travel last year incurred an estimated loss of US$1.3 trillion in export revenue. According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), that figure is more than 11 times the loss recorded during the 2009 global economic crisis.
