Tourism infrastructure and resource challenges in West Nusa腾

Overview

In August 2026, officials from the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) called for enhanced infrastructure and environmental management in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). During a visit to the region, Commission VII members emphasized the need for improved maritime transportation safety in the Gili Islands and more efficient waste management systems, specifically noting that current methods of transporting refuse to the mainland are “inefficient and costly.”

By September 2026, the region faced a clean water supply crisis in Gili Trawangan, affecting both residents and the tourism industry. Governor Lalu Muhamad Iqbal stated that the provincial government is coordinating with the central government to resolve the shutdown, which involves navigating regulatory and legal issues. The Ministry of Environment has committed to assisting in finding a resolution.
