Tourism Sector Operating Relatively Normally Despite Floods in Bali

Holiday Ayo - Bali was hit by floods on Wednesday, September 10, 2025. However, Bali's tourism sector remained relatively normal despite the flooding that affected several areas in Bali.
There were no significant cancellations of tourist arrivals or flights to Bali. Travel agent Golden Rama Tours & Travel confirmed that tours to Bali are continuing as normal with no cancellations.
"Regarding the flooding in Bali, there has been no information from the airlines regarding flight cancellations," said Ricky Hilton, General Manager of Communication & CRM at Golden Rama Tours & Travel.
"There are no tour cancellations," Ricky continued, as reported by Kompas.com on Thursday (September 11).
However, in accordance with the advisory from Bali's I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, passengers to and from Bali are advised to arrive early to anticipate potential travel issues.
Ricky explained that Golden Rama Tours & Travel currently serves tours to Bali for foreign tourists from several countries.
"We're still dominated by local tourists, while for tourists from Southeast Asia, most of our clients are from Vietnam, Thailand, and Singapore," he explained.
Ketut Weji, Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian Rafting Federation (FAJI) Bali branch, stated that whitewater rafting on the Ayung River in Ubud remains safe.
"We always prioritize safety before we go down to the river. We've prepared everything, including a rescue team with complete and adequate equipment. My recommendation is that rafting is still comfortable," said Ketut Weji, Wednesday (September 10).
Previously, the management of PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport confirmed that flights were operating normally.
Gede Eka Sandi Asmadi, Head of Communication and Legal Division at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, Bali, urged prospective passengers to arrive early.
The same appeal has also been issued by airlines so prospective passengers can calculate the time needed to get to the airport.
"The current situation constitutes force majeure, but we, along with all airport stakeholders, are continuing our efforts to maintain service standards for passengers and ensure operations run safely and smoothly," said Eka on Thursday (September 11).
In addition, the airport is working with stakeholders to implement mitigation measures, such as increasing passenger seating and staffing at the airport terminal.
"We have also coordinated with all airlines to anticipate any delays that require special handling, such as rescheduling or other mechanisms based on each airline's regulations," he added.
For passengers arriving in Bali who require intermodal transportation, the airport has coordinated with the airport's land transportation management to arrange vehicle availability amidst the congestion on many roads leading to and from the airport.
