Indonesia: Bali Struggles Amid a Surge in Tourism

"Most of Bali's woes [water shortages, traffic congestion, waste problems, etc] stem from a problem that rival resorts would love to have: too many tourists. In 2001, the island welcomed about 1.3 million foreign visitors. Ten years later — and despite bombings by Islamic extremists in 2002 and 2005 that killed 222 people, mostly Australian tourists — the island expects almost twice that number . . . Hotels, shopping centers and restaurants are springing up everywhere to accommodate them . . . But. . . roads, power lines, sewers, parking spaces — often remains an afterthought."
