Denpasar, Bali (Redaksi) – The Bali Tourism Office has reassured international travelers to remain confident about traveling to the island following a US health advisory concerning the Zika virus.
“I hope tourists are not afraid to come to Bali, because Bali is a safe and comfortable place to vacation,” Head of the Bali Tourism Office I Wayan Sumarajaya said on Sunday.
Sumarajaya emphasized that his office has been coordinating closely with relevant agencies, particularly the Bali Provincial Health Office.
Health authorities have officially confirmed that no Zika virus infections have been detected or reported anywhere in Bali to date.
Nevertheless, he urged tourists and tourism industry players to take preventive measures, given Bali’s tropical climate.
According to him, vigilance against mosquito-borne diseases is essential, similar to measures taken to prevent dengue fever (DHF).
“As a tropical country, preventive measures are important, just as they are for dengue fever, so tourists should remain vigilant and avoid mosquito bites,” Sumarajaya said.
He also called on all stakeholders and tourism service providers in Bali to maintain high-quality services by prioritizing health standards, cleanliness, and tourist comfort.
