Badung Regency

outside of Jakarta? Like there's desk research, right? I have not gone to all the cities.

But we've written about Surabaya, Badung, Medan, Semarang, Yogyakarta, and millions and millions of people living there.

So I see it quite similar to Jakarta.

It might not be the international hub, but all of these cities have airports.

Yeah, okay.

And then the brewery is maybe 20 minutes northwest of that in Tabanan, just on the border of Tabanan and Badung.

Regencies, if you're familiar with Bali.

Yeah.

For many years, tourism performance has often been discussed through one dominant measurement – how many visitors are arriving.

But Badung's tourism office is now placing greater emphasis on a more sophisticated set of questions.

How long are visitors staying? How much are they spending? What kind of experiences are they seeking? How widely are the economic benefits being distributed? And can tourism growth support local communities, culture and the environment over the long term? For property investors, that change in emphasis matters.

Arrival numbers tell us where the people are coming to Bali.

They do not tell us where those visitors will stay, how much they will spend, what type of accommodation they will choose, or which properties will capture the greatest share of that demand.

Burung's latest strategy divides the regency into three broad tourism propositions.

Southern Badung will remain focused on established accommodation, entertainment and hospitality.

Central Badung will place greater emphasis on culture, heritage and traditional arts.

A single tanker ship carrying twenty-two million liters of diesel suffered a mechanical anchor failure, delaying its offloading processes at a major port in Denpasar.

Although the mechan-mechanical failure was resolved, the delay disrupted fuel distribution to the island's depots and caused shortages in cities like Denpasar and, uh, Badung.

Is that how you say it? Badung.

Badung.

Uh, in an effort to ease the burden of the shortages, the governor ordered government employees to work from home for three days while schools and universities were told to close and utilize online learning for the same time.

Many Aussies, expats, and tourists have said they've got difficulty hailing taxis, hiring vehicles, or finding fuel.

But on December 4th of 2025, Bonnie was getting a lot of complaints.

So the Badung police, they raided her rented villa that they said was being used as an obscene video studio.

They detained her and at least 17 male tourists, and most of them were Australian.

They were aged 19 to 40, a huge age gap.
