Abstract

Bali is globally renowned as a popular tourist destination, celebrated for its natural beauty and cultural diversity, which serve as the main economic driver for the region. Despite the existence of regulations and policies concerning tourism safety, considerable challenges remain in their practical implementation. The primary issues stem from inadequate infrastructure development and limited government facilitation, resulting in suboptimal safety facilities and systems at various tourism sites. These conditions pose a risk of accidents and threaten tourist safety, ultimately diminishing confidence in Bali’s tourism sector. This study employs a qualitative, descriptive approach, combining direct observation and literature review to assess the safety and infrastructure conditions across multiple tourist destinations. It utilizes the tourism aspect framework to analyze the current situation related to safety and infrastructure. Furthermore, to provide effective recommendations for policymakers, this research adopts the sense of safety towards a tourist destination concept from Zou & Yu, aiming to comprehensively measure and understand tourists perceptions of safety. The findings indicate that many destinations in Bali have yet to implement effective and policy-compliant safety systems. The sense of safety towards a tourist destination approach highlights the critical roles of social actors, infrastructure, as well as human and technological factors in creating a secure and comfortable environment. An integrated approach is anticipated to enhance safety standards and restore tourist confidence in Bali’s destinations.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the challenges and potential solutions in advancing sustainable tourism in Badung Regency, Bali Province, with a particular focus on three core elements: spirituality (Parhyangan), social relations (Pawongan), and environmental sustainability (Palemahan). As tourist numbers continue to rise, issues such as a lack of respect for sacred sites, social tensions between visitors and local communities, and negative ecological impacts have become increasingly urgent. Employing a qualitative methodology—including in-depth interviews with government officials (notably from the Tourism Office), tourism stakeholders, community members, and academics, along with field data analysis—this research identifies harmful behavioral patterns and proposes policy recommendations aimed at fostering harmony between tourism, society, and the environment. The findings highlight that education, stricter law enforcement, and enhanced collaboration among stakeholders are essential to cultivating a tourism experience that honors local values, strengthens communities, and safeguards natural resources. Ultimately, this study seeks to contribute to a new paradigm of tourism management—one that goes beyond economic gain to prioritize long-term social and environmental sustainability in Badung Regency as a premier travel destination.
