Bali plans BaliGuard dashboard to integrate tourist protection services

Bali — The Bali Government Tourism Office is designing a new digital system called BaliGuard to strengthen protection and emergency services for visitors by integrating tourism information and responses from multiple agencies across the island.

According to local media coverage of a coordination meeting held at the provincial tourism office in Denpasar on 15 September 2026, the BaliGuard initiative is being prepared as an integrated dashboard that will bring together data and incident handling from various institutions involved in tourist safety and services. Officials said the concept responds to rising international and domestic arrivals and the need to ensure that security and comfort keep pace with Bali’s tourism growth.

The plan was outlined during a coordination meeting on tourist protection convened by the provincial tourism office, with representatives from different government bodies and emergency services invited to contribute ideas. In that meeting, the tourism office presented BaliGuard as a hub for tourism-related information and as a tool to support rapid, coordinated responses when visitors face problems during their stay.

Reporting from the meeting notes that BaliGuard is envisioned as part of a broader ecosystem of tourist protection, not as a stand-alone application separate from existing systems. The tourism office said it expects the dashboard to link with platforms and procedures already operated by agencies such as police, health services and local governments, so that information flows and incident handling can be carried out more quickly and in a more unified way.

Another local outlet stressed that BaliGuard remains in the design phase and that its final form has not yet been determined, with options including a digital dashboard or a dedicated application. The head of the Bali Government Tourism Office, I Wayan Sumarajaya, was quoted as saying that the primary goal is to improve services for tourists through more complete and easily accessible digital information, while ensuring that the tourism office does not take over the formal authority of other agencies.

Instead, the tourism office aims to act as a provider of tourism-related information and a connector within a broader emergency and assistance network for visitors. Officials at the meeting also underlined the importance of building a more comprehensive tourism information system, including a dashboard, as one of the ways to improve protection and response when tourists encounter difficulties.

Local reporting indicates that, once implemented, BaliGuard is expected to support both routine tourism information — such as destination conditions and policy updates — and emergency needs, including contact points and procedures when visitors require help. By integrating data and coordinating responses across agencies, provincial authorities hope the system will help maintain Bali’s reputation as a safe and welcoming destination for international and domestic travellers.
