Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of Chinese tourist visits on Bali’s local economy using a qualitative method through interviews with tourism business actors. Findings reveal that although Chinese arrivals increase travel volume, the distribution of economic benefits remains uneven. The practice of zero-dollar tourism directs tourists exclusively to services, shops, and restaurants controlled by foreign agencies. Consequently, small and medium enterprises are marginalized, while cross-border digital payment systems such as WeChat Pay and Alipay exacerbate economic leakage since transactions bypass local financial systems and regional tax contributions. From an international relations perspective, tourism should serve as an instrument of cultural and economic diplomacy. However, this research indicates that Chinese tourists show relatively low cultural engagement with Bali, treating local traditions more as exotic spectacles than meaningful experiences. As a result, interactions tend to be transactional rather than transformational, weakening tourism’s potential as a medium for inclusive cultural exchange. Therefore, Chinese tourism in Bali represents both opportunities and challenges. The government must implement stronger regulations and promote a pentahelix collaboration among state, businesses, communities, academics, and the private sector. Such synergy is essential to develop fair and sustainable tourism while strengthening Indonesia’s economic diplomacy within bilateral cooperation with China.
