Bali, Aug 24 (TIWN) The Indonesian resort island of Bali has postponed its plan to welcome international tourists from September following a decision by the country's government to wait until the end of this year.

Bali Governor I Wayan Koster has announced a three-step plan to reopen activity in compliance with “new normal” policies. The approach entails reopening the region’s popular tourist destinations to international visitors on Sept. 11.

Local tourists will be able to visit the island’s famous vacation spots starting on Jul. 9, Koster said.
