Tourism in Bali has not been as busy as before the Covid-19 pandemic. The quiet condition of Bali was revealed by a number of domestic tourists who had traveled to Bali during the pandemic era, especially when Bali opened on July 31, 2020.
The quiet condition of Bali is also due to foreign tourists who have not been able to come. As is known, the island of the Gods is one of the favorite destinations for foreign tourists in Indonesia.
The current quiet condition of Bali seems to remind the condition of Bali tourism in the 1970s. According to the chairman of Asita Bali, Ketut Ardana, at that time, tourism in Bali was just starting to take off with the arrival of foreign tourists from Australia and several other European countries.
"(At that time) it was quiet, (because) tourism had just started to grow that year," said Ketut when contacted by Kompas.com, Monday (31/8/2020).
He also had the experience of bringing a group of foreign tourists from Australia by land during that era.
He brought a group of foreign tourists to several tourist attractions such as Kintamani, Besakih, Sangeh, Tanah Lot, Bali Museum, and Ubud Painting Museum.
Interested in trying out tourism nostalgia in Bali like the 1970s, here is a summarizing the tourist attractions. Don't forget to wear 70s-style costumes to make your nostalgic holiday even more pronounced.
1. Kintamani
Bali does not only offer beautiful beaches. Tourists who have traveled to Bali, since the 1970s are familiar with the name of the Kintamani area.

This temple is known to be unique because it is located on a large rock. If the sea is high, this temple can be seen as if it is in the middle of the sea.
For sunset lovers, the location of Tanah Lot Temple is one of the must-visit spots in Bali.
The unusual sunset view in the form of a temple silhouette will make you amazed to see it.
Before Covid-19 hit, Tanah Lot was always crowded with tourists and you may not be able to enjoy it because of the density of tourists. As a result, you need the best time to visit this place if you want to feel serenity.
