Bali authorities have issued new guidelines to address “misbehaviour” among foreign tourists in a bid to protect the Indonesian island’s cultural integrity, including a rule prohibiting menstruating women from entering sacred temple areas.
The rules, issued by Bali governor I Wayan Koster on 24 March, include respecting sacred sites, dressing modestly, behaving politely, paying a tourist levy online, using licensed guides and accommodations, following traffic laws, and exchanging currency at authorised outlets.
