Over the last 40 years Bali has gone from being a spiritual, low-key holiday destination to an international tourist hot spot. Now it's stretched to breaking point, with a waste problem that's out of control.
Since the late 1970's the number of tourists visiting Bali each year has exploded to well over two and a half million. Combined with the local population, Bali generates thousands of tons of rubbish each day that floats down the rivers and out to the sea, piling up on the world famous Kuta Beach. There's a growing resistance - particularly among young Bali locals - to this rampant development on the island and tourism at any cost. Yet farmers are still selling their land to developers, fuelling a real estate boom that's driving prices through the roof. "Tourists are not destroying Bali, the greedy investors are destroying Bali", says Bali's governor, Made Pastika. For locals, like surf legend Mega, Bali stands to lose more that just its beautiful natural environment. "If every place is like Kuta with high-rise buildings everywhere then Bali is not like Bali anymore. If that happens it's like our souls are lost."

It is so true in the early 80's you could feel the beautiful energy of the island and the Balinese people.. it was.paradise on earth. When I returned in 1994 I was dismayed and overwhelmed by the traffic,pollution and the Javanese invasion of their island paradise. I have many friends who love it and holiday there ever year. I have no desire to return...paradise turned to trash. If only Bali had freed itself from Indonesian rule...truly feel sad for the locals, much like what happened to the indigenous people of Fiji...a slowly calculated takeover of capitalism ,political rule and destruction.

Great video; thanks. inspiring to see the few Balinese souls who are fighting for their island and culture. Wish they'd have more power, more followers, more money, to truly make something happen. Although i love Bali, i'd wish they'd have manage to put a limit on development and tourism, even if that would mean you could only get a tourist visa to visit once every 5-10 years or so...

I have a question how do you feel about tourism and foreigners in Asia? There is alot of facts people don't know or choose to ignore or most people only focus on the positives and push aside the negative facts for their own agenda, facts such as....the jobs that are associated with tourism are low payed low skilled so only a few benifet from and according to a un study for every 100 American dollars spent in a southeast asian country only 5 stays in the local economy and my Balinese friends told me all about it so basically the industry keeps the people poor, instead of the slave labor tourism industry me and my friends think that asian country should focus on better industrys. my Balinese friends even described the tourism industry as slave labor. It would be a much better option to not be dependent on such an industry and the locals and many agree that these places should focus on better industrys that actually help the locals.Tourism in Bali, Thailand, Philippines, ect from foreigners has also raised the crime rate dramatically. The environmental damage in all parts of southeast asian is already well know like in bali,phuket,siargao,palawan, and to many to name, there has been many cases of foreign tourists throwing garbage places and tourist businesses pumping raw sewage in the ocean and there is also a strain on local resources and that affects the locals ability to find fresh water,land, and other natural resources. There is also a huge sex tourist culture in southeast Asia that has been growing because of the increased number of foreigners and the problem of fatherless kids is growing everyday. The worst of all the problems with the increased number of foreigners in Asia is the cultural destruction that has been destroying the happiness and lifestyles all across southeast Asia. For example In thailand the locals used to say wai as a but because the foreigners now they only say hi. Another example all across southeast Asia is the locals become more materialistic and depression rises because the locals see the Foreigners with thier expensive phones and clothing and want to be more like them. Foreigners can also influence the locals with western ideas witch value individualism and money over family and happiness, the local cultures across southeast asia before foreigners come value family and happiness before money, but after the foreigners come they change that and destroy the way of life, the locals suffer the most. Many Singaporeans told me they wish they did not sellout Thier culture to foreigners because now they are less happy and it's the same across Southeast Asia. Foreigners also influence the foreigners to be more devious such as over drinking, gambling, and prostitution. Now with knowing all these problems the best solution is difficult to pinpoint but the best is that is for the governments of all southeast asian countries to pass new laws. For example in the Philippines the president put a limitation on the number of foreigners that can visit the island of boracay and it's been very successful however it must be a law on the national level to really make a positive difference. The majority of locals and the expats and tourists that truly care about the counties agree with this information.
