The Balinese governor has initiated the permanent closure of a glass lift project on a prominent cliff face. This decision follows significant public opposition due to photos depicting the construction. Analysts suggest the situation highlights challenges within Indonesia’s fragmented permit system governing large-scale tourism developments. The project’s involvement is linked to China’s influence, raising questions about potential coordination and oversight of these projects. The governor’s action is part of a larger initiative to address community concerns regarding tourism impacts and land use regulations within the region.
