Bali has seen a rapid post-pandemic recovery and surpassed its annual target of 4,5 million international visitors, with 4,25 million arrivals between January and May 2023 according to Indonesia’s Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy. The Tourism Ministry expects the country to see over five million international visitors by the end of the year.
