Starting on Valentine's Day, people from other countries who visit Bali will have to pay a little money, about $9.60, when they arrive. This money is for keeping Bali's beaches, surfing places, and beautiful views safe and nice. Bali is a very pretty place where lots of people like to go on vacation. Last year, almost 5 million people visited. This new money rule is for people coming from far away or from other parts of Indonesia, but if you live in Indonesia and are just traveling inside the country, you don't have to pay.

A lot of people from Australia go to Bali, more than from any other country. People from India, China, and Singapore also like to go there a lot. But some visitors do things that upset the people who live in Bali, like not following the rules of the road or being disrespectful at important places. Because of this, the people in charge are thinking about not letting visitors ride motorbikes. They also made a website called Love Bali where visitors can pay the new money rule before they get there.
