But according to the Ministry of Tourism, Republic of Indonesia, they’re prepared to offer hotel discounts and and even free accommodations based on the status of Mount Agung.
Here’s a statement from the Ministry,
Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association Bali are granting tourists affected by airline cancellations, and with no flights out of Bali, 1-night free accommodation with the next night at 50% discount. For travelers who need to depart from the country, there are free shuttles available from Ngurah Rai International Airport to Mengwi Bus Terminal.
