Denpasar (Antara Bali) - The growing tourism industry in Bali should not harm the environment and culture, stated President elect Joko "Jokowi" Widodo.

"I hope that the development of the tourism sector will not damage the local environment and culture," Jokowi recently noted here.

He also expressed hope that Bali will continue to remain a first-class tourism destination. He underscored the importance of protecting the ecology while developing the tourism industry.

"I heard that southern Bali is too crowded and is being pushed too far. The environment must not be harmed due to tourism," he emphasized.
