Condotels and Apartments ban

[edit]

Although Badung Regency, Denpasar City, and Gianyar Regency are the three richest regions in Bali and most of their wealth comes from tourism, in February 2012 Gianyar Regency officially banned the construction of new and increasingly popular condominium hotels ("condotels") and apartment facilities. Unlike the Badung Regency and Denpasar, where condotels and apartments remain in high demand for tourist developers and investors, Gianyar Regency wants to protect local entrepreneurs.[6]

Administrative districts

[edit]

The regency is divided into seven districts (kecamatan), tabulated below with their areas and population totals from the 2010 Census[2] and the 2020 Census,[3] together with the official estimates as at mid-2022.[1] The table also includes the number of administrative villages in each district (a total of 64 rural desa and 6 urban kelurahan), and its postal codes. The administrative centre of each district bears the same name as the district it is in.

Keramas Beach

[edit]

Keramas Beach in Blahbatuh has hosted international surfing competitions in the last couple of years with limited facilities such as uneven roads and no parking lots. On June 18–29, 2013, Keramas Beach was on the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP)'s 2013 Men's World Championship Tour schedule as the Oakley Bali Pro.[8][9]

Sports

[edit]
Kapten I Wayan Dipta Stadium

In football, Bali is home to the football club Bali United, which plays in the Liga 1. The team was relocated from Samarinda, East Kalimantan, to Gianyar, Bali. Harbiansyah Hanafiah, the main commissioner of Bali United, explained that he did the name change and moved the home to Bali because there were no representatives from Bali in the highest football tier in Indonesia.[10] Another reason was that local fans in Samarinda preferred to support Pusamania Borneo F.C. more than Persisam.
