I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali recorded 13.2 million passenger movements between January and July 2026. Of these, 8.5 million were international passengers and 4.7 million were domestic. The airport managed 80,000 aircraft movements, including 43,000 international and 36,000 domestic flights. Singapore and Kuala Lumpur remain the busiest international routes, while Australian travelers, particularly from Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney, account for 25 percent of international arrivals.

Simultaneously, the Bali provincial government is facing challenges in collecting the Foreign Tourist Levy (PWA). As of August 26, 2026, revenue reached Rp 244 billion, falling short of the Rp 500 billion annual target. Putu Winastra, head of the PWA Acceleration Team, noted that while compliance rose to 37 percent from 34 percent in 2025, technical issues with the Love Bali payment portal and a reliance on self-declaration systems at checkpoints have hindered collection efforts.
