Indonesia plans to allow entry of tourists into Bali from several countries considered as low-risk for Covid-19 in the third quarter of this year, under a travel corridor which the country has discussed with seven countries. But foreign tourists will be restricted to three "green" zones - Sanur, Ubud and Nusa Dua.

Bali resident I Ketut Sudiarsa and his wife and son have been busy cleaning his six-room homestay accommodation, in anticipation of the reopening of Indonesia's premier tourist hot spot.
Situated in Ubud, a popular tourist area, the new homestay had welcomed a number of foreign guests for just two months when Covid-19 struck the country, forcing it to shut its doors to overseas visitors in March last year.
