Rumors have been flying about a casino potentially coming to Bali as another way to drive tourism to the Indonesian island. It is already a highly popular destination, with 16.4 million people visiting last year.<\/p>\n

Bali Governor Wayan Koster has poured cold water on any talks of legal gambling, saying that all tourism is to be based on the island\u2019s unique culture rather than a space for international tourists to gamble.<\/p>\n

the economic impact would be as much as IDR 13 trillion (US$815m) annually<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Koster has support among local lawmakers and the region\u2019s indigenous community, despite projections that the economic impact would be as much as IDR 13 trillion (US$815m) annually<\/a>.
