Nomads & Communities: Bali's arrivals outrun its visitor levyBackground
I Wayan Sumarajaya heads the Bali Provincial Tourism Office, the body responsible for publishing the island's Headline foreign-arrival and PWA levy figures. His most recent report, covering the period to 26 July 2026, showed roughly 3.7 million foreign arrivals against Rp208 billion in levy receipts.
The same reporting line has previously put levy payment compliance at 32 per cent for full-year 2024 and 36 per cent for the period to 20 October 2025, the only confirmed rates on record. No 2026 compliance rate has yet been published alongside the arrival and receipt totals.
Sumarajaya's figures are also the evidentiary basis for outside scrutiny: Indonesia's Ombudsman has used his office's own compliance data to argue the province is not collecting from a majority of eligible visitors, even as the tourism office presents rising totals as proof the system is working.
