Governor Made Mangku Pastika has strongly urged managements and owners of hotels, villas and tourist accommodation on the resort island of Bali to strictly impose security measures to protect their guests during the current peak holiday season. “Hotels, villas and other tourist establishments must not rely for their security on support from the police and the army,” the governor said. Hotels must improve their security measures and equipment to adopt international standard security schemes.
“Bali has always been in the international spotlight and is a soft target for terrorist attacks. Therefore, we have to be ready to anticipate any security problems,” he said. Tjok Oka Artha Ardana Sukawati, chairman of the Bali chapter of the Association of Indonesian Hotels and Restaurants (PHRI), said that the tourism and hotel industry in Bali already planned to implement the new security measures. In mid-October, Sukawati said, PHRI had signed agreements with the Bali Police and PT Sucofindo to improve security systems and management in hotels and restaurants across the island.
Sukawati admitted that security systems in the majority of hotels and tourist establishments in Bali still adhered to regulations issued in 2004. “We understand that the forms of security disturbances have been changing and become more sophisticated in their operations,” said Sukawati.
