Badung Regency cancels tourism promotion mission to Japan
Badung Regency has canceled its planned October 2026 tourism promotion mission to Fujisawa, Japan. The mission, which had a budgeted expenditure of Rp 900 million from the Badung Regional Budget for 2026, was called off due to various impediments. According to A.A. Putri Mas Agung, Head of the Badung Regency Tourism Service, a technical and administrative review revealed unfulfilled preliminary requirements. These included the need for at least 30 days to process formal permission PDLN for an overseas mission, which involves approvals from leadership, the Badung Regent, the Governor of Bali, and processing through the Ministry of Home Affairs and State Secretariat, as well as obtaining 'blue passports' for civil servants. Obstacles also arose in collaboration with Japanese counterparts, as a draft Memorandum of Understanding was still under discussion, and a formal invitation for the festival in Fujisawa had not been received. Furthermore, the Badung Tourism Service faced difficulties in gathering tourism industry stakeholders, such as hoteliers, travel agents, and attraction operators, to participate in the business-to-business B2B sales mission. Putri Mas stated that proceeding with limited preparations would threaten the optimal use of the budgeted funds, leading to the decision to cancel the mission for 2026.
