The memories never left me in subsequent decades but I never thought I’d return in 2000 to spend the rest of my life here.</br></br>Living in Ubud is much more multi-dimensional than visiting as a traveller. After ten years in sterile Singapore, I was unprepared for rodents in the roof and reptiles on the bedroom walls. I had to learn to navigate the ever-changing rules of Indonesia’s Byzantine immigration bureaucracy. The new language held many entertaining pitfalls. The Balinese people, especially the family that would become my own, were a window to the rich, deep, baffling culture that surrounds me.</br></br>Shortly after moving here I offered to write a regular column for the only English language newspaper at the time, the Bali Advertiser. This opened many doors; it gave me an excuse to contact all the most interesting people on the island and ask impertinent questions about what they were doing in Bali. From over 18 years of bimonthly articles I’ve published two books."onthly articles I’ve published two books.")
  • Anthony Paul Gentile  + (From https://www.gentilefineart.com/introdFrom https://www.gentilefineart.com/introduction</br></br>Gentile’s prolific artistic practice enables him to create with a wide range of possibilities. His activity can be divided between an inner practice – evident in canvases and small-scaled sculptures – and a more public scope. This versatility allows his character to come out and enables his sense of freedom as an artist to emerge.</br></br>The circumstance that the tropical island of Bali has become his most permanent residence for about 25 years resides in the double possibility it presents: this is one of the world’s most crossed-cultured places, extremely traditionalist in its singular Hindu rituals and constant colorful ceremonies, and simultaneously one of the world’s most cosmopolitan atmospheres, home to various western communities. This intellectual balance, conjoined with a major presence of craftsmanship, working in international standard quality, allowed him to stay and produce vast amount of, and large artworks.</br></br>The Artist, Gentile perceives his working method as connected to those of musicians: after learning the basic notes – drawing, geometry and the knowledge provided by Art History – one can compose a ‘symphony’ – paintings, sculptures and, more recently, the possibilities enabled by Computer Aided Design (CAD), which he has been exploring since the late 1990s. A believer in classical and canonized education, Gentile keeps a graphic diary in the form of sketchbooks that became the foundation of his image bank. More recently, Gentile has augmented the paper diaries with an iPad. In addition to this gadget, he keeps a photographic and written record of people and situations he interacts with.</br></br>The ‘organic’ ingredient of his artwork thus resides outside the working methodology, rather is borne from the manner he utilizes his personal archive, vast due to several anthropological and ethnographical explorations. This system is what Gentile offers to the viewer: on the one hand, he expresses a personal synthesis of art and life and on the other hand, he delivers a constant citation of legacy – that he applies with extreme ease – and provides new directions for its usage.</br></br>Therefore, Gentile’s artistic practice is many times explained as an assemblage of elements embedded with references and material citations of local specificities pertaining to the locations he arrives to.pertaining to the locations he arrives to.)

  • Putu Sayoga  + (From The Phala, https://www.thephala.com/tFrom The Phala, https://www.thephala.com/the-artist-photographer-putu-sayoga/</br></br>Only a handful of photographers in Indonesia are into documentary photography. Compared to hard news photography, documentary requires more length of time when it comes to the creative process. Therefore, it demands work consistency and usually more production cost.</br></br>With all those challenges, Putu Sayoga, a Bali based photographer, is still in love with this unique style of photography. As a self-taught, he started his career from scratch in 2009, when he was a college student in Gadjah Mada University, Jogjakarta. During that initial period, documentary photography was already appealing for him. This form allows him to be acquainted with his photo subjects and has a longer interaction with them, so later he could present works that are narratively and visually more powerful.</br></br>Documentary opens up a wider horizon for Sayoga to expand his ideas and aspirations. It gives more space for him to tell the thorough stories of his photo subjects. Most of his photographs give a voice to the unheard inspirational figures and stories that are not yet sufficiently covered by the media. His works not only thought-provoking but poetically captured the genuineness and complexity of human beings.</br></br>One of his intriguing projects is “Library with the Horse,” (2015). It is a touching story about Ridwan Sururi, a horse caretaker who dedicates his time to create a small mobile library called “Kuda Pustaka” that is attached to his horse. Every week Sururi and his horse go around his village in Purbalingga, Central Java, giving free access for kids to read books. This documentary has been published in international media such as The New York Times and Aljazeera. Surprisingly, following the publication, many people around the world contacted Sayoga and donated books for Sururi’s library. It is definitely an example of how powerful storytelling can be!</br></br>Currently Sayoga has two ongoing projects. The first one started in 2013, encompasses the change caused by modernization at his own village that is located in a rural area in Bali. The other one entitled, “Living under the Volcanoes,” begins in 2017. This long-term project tells stories about the life of societies who over generations settle near the volcanoes in Indonesia; how they are living with the danger and their culture.</br></br>There are more than 150 volcanoes in this country. For his ambitious project, Sayoga has explored 6 of them including Mount Agung, Mount Ijen, Bromo, Dieng Plateau, Sinabung, and Gamalama. He went from Sumatera, Bali, Java, to Moluccas to search for and experience authentic stories. This project has been published in various media like ZEIT Magazine, Post Magazine, and GEO.ike ZEIT Magazine, Post Magazine, and GEO.)

She recalls sitting in warm wooden room surrounded by women and men in one-piece leotards, many with grey hair. It was in that room, that Meg began her yoga and health centric journey, becoming an avid information seeker of various spiritual traditions. A few years later between high school and college, Meg spent a summer as an Ashramer at the Himalayan Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy, where she continued her study of Yoga, adding Ayurveda and healthy Veganism to the mix. Meg LOVED living at the Ashram and loved her fellow students but walked away with a strong distaste for the GURU syndrome that afflicted the Institute. Her learning affects the way she approaches the Yoga Barn as a similar type of institution today.</br></br>Once in college Meg found herself on a year-long travelling and studying journey through Italy, Greece and finally, Bali. On that trip Meg focused on the Language, Arts & Culture of Bali, completing her BA in Art History, Anthropology and Asian studies with a focus on Indigenous Folk Art of Bali.

These islands experience negative impacts from uncontrolled tourism growth, such as environmental damage, overcrowding, and economic imbalance. The increase in plastic waste and damage to coral reefs is a serious threat to environmental sustainability.</br></br>Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has devastated the tourism industry, which is the backbone of Bali's economy. Aspiring leaders must plan policies that will restore the economy, diversify revenue sources, and strengthen health infrastructure. Addressing employment and education issues is also important to strengthen local community involvement.</br></br>In facing these challenges, leaders must involve all parties, including local communities, businesses and central government. A long-term vision that focuses on sustainable development and preservation of Balinese culture is needed to create a glorious future for all parties.</br></br>Next, issues of labor conditions and income distribution must be taken into account. Leaders must devise strategies to improve the skills of their local workers, provide jobs, and ensure economic distribution of income.</br></br>To face these challenges, ambitious and dedicated leadership is needed.

  • Pikobet luu lan kresikan pelemahan Bali  + (Garbage and cleanliness problems in Bali hGarbage and cleanliness problems in Bali have often become the main complaints of tourists on our Island of the Gods. The same thing that impressed me when I was in Bali was the amount of rubbish in famous tourist spots in Bali, such as the area around Dreamland Beach, the streets around the Bedugul tourist area, and in the temple tourist areas in Bali.</br></br> It is very interesting that apart from the plastic waste that is still strewn about in Bali, there is also a lot of rubbish left over from prayers, which when I was in Bali, the Balinese rama people were in activities to welcome Galungan and Kuningan. For Balinese krama people, this may be a common thing, because after the ceremony there is usually a cleaning carried out by staff from the local government.</br></br> However, it is important to remember that many tourists, both foreign and domestic, are still not used to seeing our habit of 'dirtying' tourist attractions after performing prayers and traditional ceremonies. Unlike in Indonesia, abroad there are no special officers who clean streets and public places. It would be nice if we kept the environment clean without having to depend on street cleaners.</br></br> Overcoming the problem of waste and environmental cleanliness can be done by getting us into the habit of cleaning the surrounding home environment. Don't be embarrassed to invite our friends together to clean tourist areas in Bali. The cleaner Bali is, the more our confidence will increase in promoting Bali as the best tourist destination in the world, which of course can improve the economy of the Balinese people.</br></br> Apart from that, the Balinese people must be able to reduce the amount of rubbish that is scattered around starting from individuals, whether in the form of plastic waste, the environment, or waste from prayers.</br></br> Reducing the amount of waste scattered around does not mean limiting our work that produces waste. Real steps we can take are to always throw away rubbish in the right place, not pollute the temple area by getting used to throwing away the canang and incense left over from our prayers in the rubbish bin, and getting used to picking up rubbish that is in front of us. If necessary, don't hesitate to create a charity activity with your middle school, high school and college friends to work together to clean up tourist attractions in Bali.</br></br> There is a very good example that we can emulate from the island of Okinawa - Japan, which in fact is a tourist spot whose conditions are similar to Bali. A small example is getting us into the habit of shopping using shopping bags that can be used repeatedly, in this way we will reduce the amount of plastic waste in Bali.</br></br> Think about it carefully, if we don't have Balinese culture, who else wants to maintain cleanliness and care about the waste problem in Bali? and care about the waste problem in Bali?)

May we always be safe thanks to His grace.</br></br>On this blessed day, as participation in the Wikithon Bali Berorasi event, let me deliver an oration entitled “Stunting Pinaka Kapiameng Bali’s Future”.</br></br>Respected people of Bali, </br>The young generation is the next generation of the nation that will continue, fill, and add to the development, as well as build Bali towards the “New Bali Era”. However, there is a very important obstacle, namely stunting. Stunting is the impaired growth and development of children due to malnutrition at the age of 1000 days. </br></br>Stunting is characterized by a child being shorter than a child with normal development. Not only that, during their cerebral and physical development, children are very quickly exposed to disease. Young children who experience stunting are also hindered in socializing, emotions, and thinking. According to UNICEF, young children who experience stunting usually have less intelligence than children who are not affected by stunting.</br></br>This problem of stunting, should be quickly recognised by the policy owner or the government, especially the Bali provincial leader who will be elected in 2024. If this is not considered by the government, the hope to reach a “New Era Bali” will only be a dream, unattainable because it cannot build a young generation that has critical thinking and intelligence, who will become the leaders of Bali in the future.</br></br>My respected audience,</br>Whoever will be the leader of Bali in 2024 should really pay attention to the disease that causes stunting. What can help solve this problem is building drinking water infrastructure, conducting Supplementary Feeding Programs (PTM) for children and pregnant women to complement their body nutrition, checking the growth and development of toddlers, providing vaccinations for children to prevent viruses that interfere with child development.</br></br>Ladies and gentlemen, </br>The young generation can be a weapon to reach the “New Bali Era”. Let us beware of the dangers caused by stunting that can hinder or hamper the development of this island of the gods. Together with the young generation, towards the New Bali Era.</br></br>That’s all I can say today. If there are any mistakes in my speech, I ask for forgiveness. Klungkung Semarapura, kirang langkung nunas pangampura (Balinese saying which means begging for forgiveness if something goes wrong). Allow me to end this speech with paramasantih. </br></br>Om Santih Santih Santih Omparamasantih. Om Santih Santih Santih Om)

Here I will deliver an oration about the conversion of agricultural land. This is one of the problems that must be overcome by potential Balinese leaders.</br></br> As we know, the population of Bali is increasing and more and more foreign tourists are visiting, therefore a lot of agricultural land is being converted into housing, hotels, restaurants and other buildings that support the tourism industry. Therefore, there are no farmers in Bali who own large areas of land. Head of the Bali Agriculture and Food Security Service, I Wayan Sunada, explained that currently the largest farmer's land area in Bali is around 75 are/0.75 ha, it is very rare for farmers to have land above one hectare. "The weakness of farmers in Bali currently is that their land is limited, some are 25 hectares, the maximum is 75 hectares. "This is the result of land conversion that occurs every year." said Sunada to Bisnis, Wednesday (22/6/2022). Based on these problems, the Government or prospective Bali Provincial Government must really pay attention to the problem of Land Conversion by ensuring the welfare of farmers, for example:</br> 1. During the planting season, attention must be paid to the distribution of subsidized and non-subsidized fertilizers to avoid fertilizer shortages.</br> 2. During the harvest season, the Government must help farmers market their agricultural products.</br> If the government really paid attention to the welfare of farmers, land conversion could be prevented because people and the younger generation would want to become farmers. In this way, the national food security program can be achieved.</br></br> That is the speech that I can convey, if there are any sentences that are not acceptable, I apologize profusely.

In the short history of ethnographic fieldwork, film was used both on a large scale and as the primary research tool. Bateson took 25,000 photographs of their Balinese subjects.</br></br>He discovered that the people of Bajoeng Gede raised their children very unlike children raised in Western societies. Instead of attention being paid to a child who was displaying a climax of emotion (love or anger), Balinese mothers would ignore them. Bateson notes, "The child responds to [a mother's] advances with either affection or temper, but the response falls into a vacuum. In Western cultures, such sequences lead to small climaxes of love or anger, but not so in Bali. At the moment when a child throws its arms around the mother's neck or bursts into tears, the mother's attention wanders". This model of stimulation and refusal was also seen in other areas of the culture. Bateson later described the style of Balinese relations as stasis instead of schismogenesis. Their interactions were "muted" and did not follow the schismogenetic process because they did not often escalate competition, dominance, or submission.ate competition, dominance, or submission.)

She leads by example – her goal is to inspire the next generation of conscious leaders.</br></br>HANALEI, it’s been a minute since we last spoke, can you tell us what you’ve been up to in the last couple of years?</br></br>I’ve taken a step back these last few years to really focus on what drives me creatively. Since we last spoke I feel like I’ve been through a huge reset, and this has allowed me to explore different passions including writing, which in turn has opened me up to new opportunities. I recently had the pleasure of being an author in the New York Times best-selling book Women Gone Wild!. I have also continued designing clothes, making artwork, writing, speaking and finding new ways to tell my story.</br></br>You were barely a teenager in Bali when we first caught up. How have your views changed since then?</br></br>I don’t think my views have changed necessarily; I just think they have been reinforced. I’m still focussed on creating sustainable fashion and educating other kids about making conscious decisions when buying clothing. I stand strong on sustainable fashion versus fast fashion, and it remains my mission to educate young consumers and set an example for other brands to start taking action on our problems in the fashion industry.</br></br>What projects are you involved in now, and what drives those projects?</br></br>These last few years have been very exciting. I’ve already mentioned the Women Gone Wild! book series, with its mission to inspire women around the world to take action on what they love. I’ve also been involved with the Shima Swan Surfboard Project, in partnership with We Are Mother Earth. This project is a symbolic gift for ocean health and takes a stand against the plans made by the company TEPCO to dump over 100 million tons of radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean as early as next year, which will affect our environment, as well as food supply chain to a dramatic extent. I’m also happy to announce I’ve been working on a new collection for my eco-friendly fashion company, HS Styles, which takes huge inspiration from my love for the ocean and surfing. I look forward to sharing more on this in the future.</br></br>What are the biggest threats facing us in the world today, and how do you think they affect you?</br></br>Globally, the fashion industry is the second most polluting industry in the world after oil and gas. It’s responsible for 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually. This blows my mind. It takes over 750 gallons of water to produce a single cotton T-shirt, not to mention that 20% of global wastewater comes from textile dyeing, because the bulk of the production is in countries with little or no regulation, so the wastewater often finds its way to rivers and seas where it can wreak havoc.</br></br>I never thought that deeply about fashion’s effect on our planet before I learned about this. So, when I started my fashion brand at 11 years old, I knew I didn’t want to contribute to any further destruction. I knew I had to do it differently, which brought me to slow fashion. I only use suitable materials like bamboo, which takes roughly one percent of the water otherwise needed to make a t-shirt. I also committed to giving back, so this is where HS Styles began.</br></br>In today’s social media landscape, are we all guilty of putting self-promotion before these causes?</br></br>Yes, everyone is, but that’s okay. We don’t always have to focus on the negative things on our planet, but I do believe these topics should be talked about so we can inspire other people to use their voices to uplift causes they care about. It’s important that everyone recognises that they have a voice – the more we talk about sustainability, for instance, the more we can educate and effect change. If that means promoting yourself and your business as well, then so be it. The point is the whole platform gets larger, and this always translates into greater awareness for others to follow.</br></br>How can we do our part?</br></br>There are three simple ways you can help. Through your time, your money, and or sharing your voice. Using your time could mean volunteering at an organisation that is already working towards making change, finding ways you can support others. Using your money could mean donating to certain charities/organisations, being more conscious with your spending by limiting your purchases and consumption, changing your buying habits by shopping at more sustainable brands, or even buying second-hand/vintage clothing to give them a chance not to not end up in landfill. You can also use your voice – talking about problems you care about is one of the most powerful tools you have, whether through open conversations or social media. If we each make a small change, we can create a bigger impact. The more we educate, the more we can inspire people to start thinking and buying consciously.</br></br>Do you think it is possible to affect future outcomes, and how would you do that? Yes, I believe we are able to affect future outcomes, but I don’t believe I can change the world on my own. We are the change we wish to see in the world, and I believe by standing together to fight against fast fashion and other habits that contribute to the destruction of our planet we can make a difference. I hope by inspiring others I can create a butterfly or ripple effect that will lead to sustainable change, and I hope my company HS Styles can set an example to inspire other brands.</br></br>How do you see yourself in 20 years’ time?</br></br>I haven’t thought that far into my future to be honest, so I genuinely don’t know where I want to end up, but I certainly know I don’t want to put myself in a box. I want to stay open to new possibilities and opportunities that may come my way. Over time I know my interests and thoughts will change and I am open to that.</br></br>Where are we heading as a race in your generation?</br></br>Our future is not bright, especially when you look at the rapid speed of climate change and the continuation of fast fashion practices by huge corporations. It’s obvious we are slowly destroying our only planet, and I am scared for our future generations.</br></br>Do you still have hope?</br></br>Yes, but only if we start taking action right now. We need to find solutions for the problems we already have instead of continuing to create others. I believe it is the responsibility of big companies to take into account how they are affecting the earth. It needs to be our mission to make our voices heard and to stand for what we care about.</br></br>IG: @HanaleiSwan</br>FB: Hanalei Swan-HS Styles</br>www.hanaleiswan.com</br>www.wgwbook.comStyles www.hanaleiswan.com www.wgwbook.com)

Created using waste collected across the island of Bali, Pointman speaks to Potato Head’s ideation that sustainability can be beautiful. Initially lauded as a pioneering graffiti artist, Futura2000 is known for his ground-breaking use of abstraction in the 1980s and has always been progressive in his philosophy, methodology, and practice of art. Adjacent to his body of abstract paintings, he has developed a universe and lexicon around an otherworldly character: the Pointman. Over the years, Pointman has taken many forms across drawing, painting, and sculpture.</br></br>The collaboration with Potato Head sees Pointman emerge with a new mission in the materials of its design. River and ocean pollution has long been a central concern of Futura2000. Located on the Hudson River in New York City, the view from his studio of the Statue of Liberty is obscured by vessels transporting trash and free-floating river garbage. In reaction to this, the use of waste for the fabrication of the sculptures is a social commentary on the pollution crisis faced by both rivers and tributaries in New York City and Southeast Asia.</br></br>On 9 December, the courtyard of the OMA-designed Potato Head Studios in Bali unveiled the second River Warrior sculpture. For this Pointman, everything from motor oil bottles to discarded water gallon lids sourced by the community organisation, Yayasan Kakikita, were used.

Leonard Hilton McGurr, 1955, New York) is an abstract painter whose practice first developed in New York during the 1970s. One of the earliest graffiti artists to introduce abstraction into his work, Futura was also among the first graffiti artists to be shown in contemporary art galleries in the early 1980s. Early exhibitions of his work include presentations at Patti Astor’s Fun Gallery and Tony Shafrazi Gallery, as well as within the historic Times Square show of 1980, alongside Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Rammellzee, and Kenny Scharf. MoMA PS1 brought the artists together again in its landmark 1981 exhibition, New York / New Wave. Futura collaborated with the punk band The Clash during this time as well, designing their album art and painting on large-scale canvases behind the band as they performed in concert. In recent years, he created collaborative works with Takashi Murakami and exhibited them at Kaikai KiKi Gallery in Tokyo. He worked with Virgil Abloh on collections for Off-White and Louis Vuitton and staged visuals for the designer at Coachella. Futura’s work has been shown at The New Museum, New York; MOCA, Los Angeles; the Groninger Museum, the Netherlands; Yvon Lambert, Galerie De Noirmont, and the Galerie du jour agnès b., Paris. In 2020, the Noguchi Museum presented Futura Akari, an installation of Akari light sculptures customized by Futura; he created a large site-specific installation at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, and he was included in the exhibition Writing the Future: Basquiat and the Hip Hop Generation at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.</br></br>@futuradosmil</br>www.seminyak.potatohead.co @futuradosmil www.seminyak.potatohead.co)

Liquid - organic waste</br>Wet organic waste is defined as organic waste that contains a large amount of water. Examples of wet organic waste are vegetable waste, rotten banana peel, onion peel and the like.</br> 2. Dry - organic waste </br>Dry organic wastes are organic wastes that contain a small amount of moisture. Examples of dry organic waste include wood, tree limbs, tree trimmings, wood and dry leaves.</br>Inorganic waste is waste that is no longer in use and is difficult to decompose. Inorganic waste that is buried in the soil can cause soil pollution. This is because inorganic waste is classified as a persistent substance and the waste is buried in the soil for a long time, causing damage to the soil layer. </br>Examples of inorganic waste are: plastic, beverage bottles/cans, crackling, etc.</br>"Now, having explained, have you guys understood? I hope you have". </br>"Do you know what will happens when you mix organic and inorganic waste?</br>Mixing organic and inorganic waste not only causes odour and unsightliness. This pile of mixed organic and inorganic waste can be a threat to human life. Organic waste produces harmful leachate. This liquid can degrade the quality of the soil and air around the waste. Can separating waste help? But what is the importance of waste separation in Indonesia?</br>The importance of waste separation". Rubbish? Hello! Horrible! Everyone avoids it. Everyone gets annoyed when there's rubbish around. Right? Try to imagine if your room was full of other people's rubbish. Wouldn't you be angry? Surprisingly, many of us do litter. If you're riding a motorbike, you casually litter; if you're studying in class, you casually throw rubbish on the floor and don't pick it up. The funny thing is, when you come to a place with a lot of rubbish, you sneer and mutter: "WHAT A SLOB"</br>The importance of waste separation is therefore the facilitation of further waste management. In addition to facilitating further waste management, the sorting of organic and inorganic waste can also reduce air pollution caused by the accumulation of waste that is still mixed between organic and inorganic waste.</br>I took an example of a waste sorting programme from one of the schools in South Kuta, namely SMA Negeri 3 Kuta Selatan. If there is such a programme, are you sure that all the students will follow and implement the programme correctly? "After a lot of instruction from the teachers to the students in the school, it is not necessarily the students and the students will implement the programme correctly, the students and the students consider the programme as a waste sorting programme.</br>The school has provided 10 garbage cans with names and pictures, but the sorting of waste is very complicated;</br>The trash bins provided by the school include:</br> 1. Aluminium litter bin</br> 2. Organic waste bin</br> 3. Pedal bin</br> 4. Plastic waste bin</br> 5. Plastic waste bin</br> 6. Bottle cap bin</br> 7. Clean pet waste bin</br> 8. Residue bin</br> 9. Single layer bin</br>10. Multi-layer bin</br>However, the students at the school still have a mixture of organic and inorganic waste in the same place, which is a bit of a mess, isn't it?</br>The school does not yet have a caretaker to sort the waste. However, the school has been working with the KOMUNITAS PLASTIK EXCANGE KUTA SELATAN and once a month the waste is transported to the school. The school does not know the amount of waste for a month. This is because the school has recently implemented the waste sorting programme.</br>A good example of another school that I have received is from one of the schools in Malang, namely SMA 2 Malang as Adiwiyata Mandiri School Inspiring with Sustainable Waste Management Programme. The success of SMAN 2 Malang's waste management programme is a real example of how education and action can positively impact the environment. It is hoped that this programme will inspire other schools to adopt sustainable waste management practices and create a greener and more environmentally conscious learning environment.onmentally conscious learning environment.)

  • Keep it simple, look to others that created success with the reamerging tourism markets!  + (Hi all, I appreciate the concern with reopHi all, I appreciate the concern with reopening and the cautioned approach. However there must be more clarity for countries permitted. Look to places such as the UAE (Dubai in particular) or Seychelles and see how well they opened up. I am an immigrant living in the Middle East and I booked my wedding for July 2022 with the hope you would all be open in time. Don’t limit the countries, make sure people are tested before they arrive and make sure they have insurance for covid, make sure they are triple vaccinated before flying also. Airlines go through thorough checks so the country itself doesn’t have to. I have approximately 10 different nationalities attending my wedding from 15 different countries - keep your rules simple, open to all with minor exclusions when needed. And remove the visa cost - it is not good to charge so much when tourists know it’s going straight to the government. Consider tourism first and the money will come after - do in hotel PCR testing on day 2 if required and charge a little extra there if need be. Keep. It. Simple. If you need an introduction to the tourism CEO for dubai I would be more than happy to help. dubai I would be more than happy to help.)
