JAKARTA: Foreign tourists won’t be allowed to visit Bali for the rest of 2020 due to coronavirus concerns, its governor said, scrapping a plan to open up the Indonesian island from next month. The holiday hotspot re-opened beaches, temples and other tourism spots for domestic visitors at the end of July and had said it would let foreign tourists return on September 11. But the plan has now been canceled over concerns about Indonesia’s mounting virus cases and with many foreign nationals subject to travel bans in their home countries. Jakarta is also yet to lift its ban on foreign tourists entering Indonesia. He did not give a new date for allowing foreign tourists to visit.
