Bali vows to tackle waste problem

Under the headline "Holidays in Hell: Bali's Ongoing Woes", Time magazine said the resort island was struggling with waste and some of its famous beaches were strewn with rubbish.

"We are not closing our eyes. It's true that we have a waste problem," Bali tourism agency head Ida Bagus Subhiksu said.

Subhiksu said up to 300 garbage trucks a day were needed to collect rubbish in the Kuta area, a prime tourist spot.

"In Kuta, there will be more garbage trucks designated for the area as extra funding for waste management there has been approved," he said.
