Bali Officially Reopens to Tourists

Bali has sun, surf, and spirituality – and now it’s easier to visit. This popular travel spot has finally given tourists, especially Australians, a reason to be happy. Bali is open to global tourism again. I just got back, and here’s what I learned about Bali after the pandemic.

Six things I learned about Bali in 2022

Visiting Bali used to mean spending 3 days in quarantine at a government-approved hotel. That’s not necessary anymore. After almost two years of closure, Bali announced a big change. From March 14th, vaccinated travelers no longer have to quarantine. They also don’t need a PCR test when they arrive.

Bali is ready for your visit. The island has one of the highest vaccination rates in Indonesia. Get ready to enjoy everything Bali has to offer – it’s open for tourism again!

Last month (April) I traveled to Bali, just two weeks after the travel rules were relaxed. The island had been nearly empty for two years. Most workers had returned to farming to make a living.

Here’s what I learned about Bali after the pandemic:

Bali doesn’t get enough credit for its style. Its temple designs are over 1,000 years old, based on Hindu tradition. You can also see a modern twist on that style in local shops and businesses. Bali mixes quality and creativity in a way that feels natural.

Balinese people are very happy to see tourists return.

What Bali Shop Owners Need to Know Right Now

As Bali reopens and foot traffic returns to local markets and boutiques, the window to get ahead of the competition is open — but it won’t stay that way for long. Tourists arriving from Australia, the UK, and across Asia are already spending freely, and many are actively looking for shops that can ship their purchases home.

Here’s the reality for retailers: a customer who knows they can ship from your store is a customer who buys more. They’re not constrained by baggage weight limits or the fear of something breaking in transit. That’s a direct lift to your average order value — no discounting required.

Pigee is currently onboarding Bali retailers ahead of the peak tourism season. Getting set up is free, and the process is straightforward — even if you’ve never offered shipping before. Pigee handles the carrier comparison, the booking, and the tracking, so your staff don’t need to become logistics experts overnight.

For Tourists: How to Ship From a Bali Store

If you’re visiting Bali and shopping at a Pigee-enabled store, the process is simple:

• Shop as normal and tell the store you’d like to ship your items home.
• The store creates the shipment through Pigee — you provide your delivery address.
• You receive tracking details so you can follow your parcel from Bali to your door.
• Fragile or bulky items can be packed appropriately in-store before dispatch.

No post office queues. No guessing which carrier to use. No anxiety about whether your handmade ceramics will survive the journey home in an overhead locker.

As Bali reopens and the island finds its rhythm again, this kind of frictionless experience is exactly what tourists — and retailers — have been waiting for.
