Bali tourism officials urge travellers not to worry about 'sex ban'

The Bali Hotels Association is urging tourists to "stay calm and continue their activities as usual" amid further reports Australians were cancelling their Bali holiday plans.

The statement was issued following front page headlines across Australia warning of a "Bali Sex Ban" as "Indonesia moves to ban consensual sex outside of marriage amid crackdown". The reports were referring to what is commonly known as the Adultery Act, which would ban people living together outside of marriage and extramarital sex.Indonesian students during a protest in Denpasar, Bali. Thousands of students staged protests across the country against new law that proposed change in its criminal code laws and weaken the country's anti-corruption commission.

Many Indonesians in the predominantly Muslim country were outraged by the proposed laws and Balinese tourism operators were frightened the ban would scare off tourists, prompting President Joko Widodo to indefinitely postpone the legislative changes. "Based on various feedback, the President of the Republic of Indonesia and the Indonesian Parliament have agreed to indefinitely postpone the bill with those new regulations," the hotels association said in a statement.

its a third world pathetic destination anyway

this law is ridiculous，only two concerns of people having sex are ages of them and whether she/he is willing.

Religion trying to bring Bali back into the Stone Age

Bali should secede from the Sharia nation of Indonesia. The Balinese people are loving, kind and generous, the Indonesians however........
