What Makes a Gracious Respectful Tourist - My Recent Experience in Bali

During Covid and post-Covid I traveled to holiday in Bali – what a difference in serenity and harmony between the two trips. By the way…my first trip to Bali was way back in 1978 when things were a lot quieter! Returning to Bali in post-Covid January, I experienced the return of the disruptive tourist in Bali and can empathize with the local Balinese anger and the many press reports calling out very visible tourists who consciously ignore local values and customs in the normally harmonious island of Bali.
