由于巴厘岛目前的客房数已经足够满足到2015年的需求，印尼文化旅游部官员强烈要求巴厘岛管理局停止在岛上新建酒店开发项目。若再新建客房，将产生恶性的商业竞争。
       人力资源开发局主任Pitana Brahmanda说：“近期的一项研究表明巴厘岛的酒店客房数量供过于求。” Pitana所提到的研究是由陀衍那大学研究部提出的。这项研究主要集中在旅游观光最发达的区域——巴东、登巴萨和吉安雅。这项研究坚信环境学家几十年前的担忧问题也是现在旅游观光业所担忧的问题，那就是巴厘岛上的酒店开发的强劲速度将同时危害到环境和旅游业。印尼饭店酒店协会（PHRI）巴厘岛分会主席的Tjokorda Oka Artha Ardhana Sukawati说，为平衡巴厘岛的旅游业发展，叫停新开发酒店势在必行。
 

      Indonesia’s Culture and Tourism Ministry officials have urged the Bali administration to temporarily halt new hotel developments on the island, saying Bali had sufficient hotel rooms for up to 2015 and building more rooms would create unhealthy business competition.
       "A recent study showed that the island is already suffering from an oversupply of hotel rooms.” the ministry’s human resources development head, Pitana Brahmanda, said. The recent study he referred to was conducted by the ministry and Udayana University researchers and focused on Badung, Denpasar and Gianyar, the regions with the most developed tourist industries. The study confirmed the concerns initially voiced decades ago by environmentalists and later by the tourism industry that the island’s hotel development was proceeding at a pace that would hurt both the environment and the tourist industry as well. Calls for a moratorium on new hotel development have been issued by several stakeholders. The head of the Bali branch of the Indonesia Hotels and Restaurants Association (PHRI), Tjokorda Oka Artha Ardhana Sukawati said that a moratorium was needed to balance tourism development across Bali.
