The island saw a 6.6% increase in tourism numbers from 2017 to 2018. Among the largest numbers of visitors per country was the United States, with nearly 240,000 visitors that year, but pales in comparison to China, which had a whopping 1.4 million. According to the Bali Hotels Association, Bali saw more than 6 million international tourists in 2018. The reality is, Bali gets a staggering number of visitors. Yet many are frustrated when they arrive to traffic jams, beaches littered with trash, and waits for photos at popular Instagram spots. Today, it seems that Bali is the closest thing a traveler can get to “paradise,” or at least the travel industry has made it seem so.
