Condotels and Apartments ban
editAlthoughBadung Regency,DenpasarCity, and Gianyar Regency are the three richest regions in Bali and most of their wealth comes from tourism, in February 2012 Gianyar Regency officially banned the construction of new and increasingly popular condominium hotels ( "condotels") and apartment facilities. Unlike the Badung Regency and Denpasar, where condotels and apartments remain in high demand for tourist developers and investors, Gianyar Regency wants to protect local entrepreneurs.[6]

Sports
edit
Infootball,Bali is home to the football clubBali United,which plays in theLiga 1. The team was relocated fromSamarinda,East Kalimantan,toGianyar,Bali. Harbiansyah Hanafiah, the main commissioner of Bali United, explained that he did the name change and moved the home to Bali because there were no representatives from Bali in the highest football tier in Indonesia.[10]Another reason was that local fans in Samarinda preferred to supportPusamania Borneo F.C.more than Persisam.
