An interesting idea - RETIRE IN BALI??? Bali plans retirement homes for tourists Balis provincial administration has agreed to support moves by the Bali Retirement Tourism Authority (BRTA) to develop new residences for senior tourists by providing plots of land on the island. As of now, there are many alternative types of tourism being developed in Bali, but we do not yet have special residences for retirement, Bali governor Made Mangku Pastika told the Jakarta Post. Pastika said that Bali should seriously develop retirement tourism as part of the islands efforts to diversify in the face of tight competition with the upcoming ASEAN Economic Community 2015. He said many Asian countries have already designed retirement tourism programmes. As the icon of Indonesian tourism, Pastika added that Bali should initiate such a programme. He has called for suitable building sites on the island to be identified. He said retirement tourism would be very profitable. Usually, senior tourists have strong financials and they want to enjoy the rest of their life, he said. Chairman of BRTA, Prof. Ketut Sukardika, said that the retirement tourism concept would be to provide suitable residences specifically for senior tourists. The residences should also be supported by facilities, including hospitals, he said
