Bali’s governor has announced a ban on tourist activities on its mountains with “immediate effect,” in a bid to preserve its sacred peaks following a rise in violations by misbehaving tourists.
For some reason I’m always surprised at how badly tourists behave in foreign countries, particularly to sights considered sacred to the locals. Uluru is a good example, where the local tribes continuously asked tourists not to climb all over it, but no one gave a shit until the government finally outlawed it.
