BADUNG, DEWATA.NEWS – Hotel occupancy in Bali’s Badung Regency reached an estimated average of 80 percent during the combined Nyepi and Eid al-Fitr holiday period in 2026, according to the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI).
PHRI Badung Secretary Gede Nick Sukarta said the figure reflects a positive performance, especially as it occurred during what is typically considered a low season for tourism.
“The Nyepi and Eid holiday period is still quite good, with average occupancy around 80 percent,” he stated on Sunday (March 22, 2026).
He noted that hotel occupancy increased by approximately 10 to 15 percent compared to normal days. Hotels in key tourism areas such as Seminyak, Kuta, Nusa Dua, and Canggu recorded consistent growth, indicating that the extended holiday period contributed to higher demand.
Meanwhile, General Manager of ITDC The Nusa Dua, I Made Agus Dwiatmika, projected that three hotels under the InJourney group in The Nusa Dua area would contribute significantly to occupancy levels during this period.
These hotels are expected to see occupancy rise by around 9 percent, reaching approximately 57 percent. Visitor numbers to the premium tourism area of The Nusa Dua are also projected to reach about 61.25 percent.
Badung remains the central hub for accommodation in Bali. Based on 2024 data from Indonesia’s Central Statistics Agency (BPS), 417 out of 593 star-rated hotels in Bali are located in Badung, with a total of 48,257 rooms.
In addition, Badung accounts for 1,182 non-star hotels out of 3,582 across Bali, reinforcing its role as a key indicator of overall tourism performance on the island.
The positive occupancy trend is also supported by government stimulus measures introduced during the holiday period. These include transportation discounts of up to 30 percent for certain modes, domestic economy-class airfare reductions of around 17–18 percent, and waived ferry port service fees.
For international visitors and industry observers, the data highlights steady tourism activity in Bali, even during traditionally quieter periods, supported by holiday momentum and policy-driven incentives.
