History of Bali Tourism Journal
Bali, often referred to as the "Island of the Gods," is renowned for its lush landscapes, vibrant arts, and deeply rooted spiritual traditions. Its unique blend of natural beauty and cultural richness has captivated visitors for centuries.
The island's allure began to attract international attention in the early 20th century. By the 1920s, Bali welcomed its first real tourists, with limited accommodations like the Bali Hotel, now Inna Bali Hotel Denpasar, which hosted notable figures such as Queen Elizabeth and Mahatma Gandhi . Mass tourism, however, took off in the 1960s, transforming Bali into one of Asia's most visited destinations .
This rapid growth brought both opportunities and challenges. While tourism became a significant contributor to Bali's economy, accounting for up to 80% of its economic activity , it also led to environmental concerns, cultural shifts, and debates over sustainable development.
Recognizing the need for scholarly insight into these dynamics, the Bali Tourism Journal was established. Our mission is to provide a platform for rigorous academic research that explores the multifaceted aspects of tourism in Bali and beyond. By examining the intersections of culture, economy, environment, and society, we aim to inform sustainable tourism practices and policies that honor Bali's heritage while embracing its future.
