DENPASAR - Bali Governor Wayan Koster will stop the practice of Airbnb accommodation because it is considered not to contribute to local revenue (PAD)."Later it will be studied and we will propose it to be stopped," said Koster on the sidelines of the 15th Regional Conference of the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) in Denpasar, Bali, Wednesday, December 3.According to him, the existence of accommodation that is marketed digitally affects regional income, especially PAD posts from hotel and restaurant tax components.Koster revealed that tourist visits increased but were not in line with the occupancy rate of hotels in Bali, especially those that were members under the auspices of the PHRI Bali association.Koster even mentioned that there are more than 2,000 units of unlicensed hotels and villas in Bali that must be put in order.For this reason, he invites tourism actors to work together to help the government control accommodation that does not contribute to regional income."It (Airbnb) does not fully support Bali's local economy, that's what's happening now. Not to mention there are illegal and naughty ones, we will arrange everything, there is no mercy. We must be united, not only the responsibility of the government but all of us," he said when giving a speech to Musda participants.Meanwhile, the Chairman of PHRI Bali Tjok Oka Artha Ardana Sukawati revealed that currently there are 378 members of his organization.This amount is not comparable to accommodation that conducts online marketing which is estimated to reach 16 thousand units.Regarding Airbnb's practice, he continued, it was carried out, including by foreigners (WNA) who rented residents' houses and then resold them in the form of daily leases through the digital platform."It is very detrimental to the trend of increasing tourist visits to be nonlinear with local revenue and occupancy rates," he said as quoted by ANTARA.Based on data from the Regional Office of the Directorate General of Treasury (DJpb) of Bali Province until October 2025, the realization of PAD on the Island of the Gods reached IDR 15.3 trillion or 71 percent of the total ceiling of IDR 21.5 trillion.The realization grew 9.58 percent compared to the same period in 2024.Ada pun pajak daerah berkontribusi besar terhadap PAD di Bali yaitu mencapai Rp12 triliun.Of this amount, as much as Rp7.13 trillion comes from certain goods and services taxes (PBJT) which grow 14.76 percent on an annual basis.PBJT certain goods and services include food, beverages, hotels to arts and entertainment.
