Clean-up activities as well as reducing the use of single-use plastics are effort to protect the environment, so that Bali tourism, which has returned to improvement due to the Covid-19 pandemic, is maintained in terms of quality. Apart from protecting the environment, the revival of Bali tourism should not be tainted with negative things. Moreover, it is a criminal problem, it will tarnish the image of culture-based Bali tourism. “Similarly, it can disturb foreign people’s trust on the Island of the Gods which is famous for being calm, safe, comfortable and peaceful. Maintaining the trust of guests is very difficult,” concluded Nik Sukarta. (BTN/015)
