Bruce, Good to see you back on deck. It'll be good to hear from local authorities on the economic benefits of cruise ship visits vs visitors arriving by plane. I bet the infrastructure build out for a shipping port would not be as viable as a new Airport in the North.
We anchored off Bali in 1976 on the SS Oriana. Since then i think that Bali has suffered from over tourism and it will end badly. I worked on the Oriana as crew, not as a passenger so would never take a cruise
I think that I've only been to two foreign-owned businesses here. I wonder how many there actually are out of the 200,000 foreigners living on the island.

Thanks, furball. Indeed, I would like to see how much passengers spend and what kind of fee(s) the ships have to pay to dock. Take care.

Long time ago onestar. I've worked as a crew on a cruise ship as well. Not something that I would really like to do as a passenger also. Take care.

Many foreign-owned businesses in Indonesia are rulebreakers. But in Bali they are another next level. 🙈😂

Massive hashish confiscated. Where would the source plantations exist and why have these not been revealed and dealt with?
Locally run businesses don't receive such scrutiny as 'protected '.
Maybe ask the guy who hangs around the memorial selling it for like 30 years. Just don't buy any off him, he's a narc.
erimin 5, a type of benzodiazepine.
