Ida Gede Komang Kresna Budi, deputy speaker of the provincial legislature, made the suggestion during a discussion with Governor Wayan Koster on Oct. 29, Bali News reported.
He said tourists should get clear benefits for the fees they pay, and called for a review of repeated entrance charges at individual attractions to reduce the burden on visitors, according to Bali Tribune.
If his proposal is accepted, a centralized payment and visitor service facility would be established near the Patung Kuda area outside Ngurah Rai International Airport to offer cultural performances and welcome drinks.
The proposed package would also provide access to Bali Mandara Hospital and other international-standard medical facilities, Bali News reported.
