Due to the constantly increasing tourist arrivals in Bali, which can also be seen in the occupancy rates of villas Bali and villas in Bali for rent, the provincial administration has finally chosen Kubutambahan village to be the site for the new international airport that is to be built. Kubutambahan is located some 15 kilometers east of Singaraja in the Buleleng Regency in north Bali. This news eliminates the earlier speculations that the airport will be established in Gerokgak.
The decision was reached based on the feasibility study that was conducted last year by the central government. Center of the study are three places which include the Kubutambahan, Sangsit and Gerokgak villages. This was revealed by I Ketut Wija, head of the province’s economic and development affairs agency.
“Technically, considering the geographical conditions, wind speed, wind direction and other factors, Kubutambahan area is the best site for the new airport. There is also a large plot of land near the beach,” said Ketut.
It has been learned that because of this news, many businessmen have bought land from the Gerokgak village courtesy of middlemen who offered the residents very low prices for their land which they, then, sold to the rich businessmen.
As to when the airport will be built, the provincial government is still waiting for an investor.
As said, the airport is designed to accommodate the continually growing tourist arrivals to Bali who are mostly staying in the villas Bali and villas in Bali for rent.
According to date, there are about 12,771,874 tourist arrivals in 2011 alone. Of this, 6,594,830 are domestic passengers and 6,177,044 are international passengers.
According to Regent Putu Agus Suradnyana, the Kubutambahan village is the perfect site for the new airport because of its strategic location, as well as land structure.
