    Indonesia East Bali Poverty - FINAL - Bhs Inggris

    Khinmg Soe
    The tourism industry in Bali has contributed to rising inequality and poverty on the island. While coastal areas have seen development and wealth from tourism, rural inland areas receive few benefits and lack basic infrastructure and services. One extremely impoverished village called Ban has seen some improvements from a charity project that built schools and provided healthcare and education, but it remains far behind richer parts of Bali and continues to be neglected by the local and provincial governments. There is a growing divide between the wealthy tourist areas and poor rural communities that receive little support from tourism tax revenues. Addressing this challenge will be difficult as tourism is a major part of Bali's economy.
