Freeloading travellers to be sent packing

"Ever since Bali first established a position on the tourist trail in the 1920s, the Indonesian island has become a haven for foreign travellers in search of sanctuary among its picturesque paddy fields, deep blue breaks and sacred temples."

"A product of the sort of entitlement only privilege affords, the begpacker has become a scourge across Asia, affecting everywhere from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur, as well as here in Hong Kong."

""We have seen many cases of problematic tourists, lately they are either Australian, British or Russian," Setyo Budiwardoyo, who works at the Immigration Office of Ngurah Rai, in Bali, told Indonesian-language news portal Detik on June 25"

""Foreign tourists who run out of money or are pretending to be beggars, we will send them to their respective embassies," he said."

"As far as Destinations Known is concerned, there is no romance to poverty and nor is there virtue in travelling the world for free. Someone has to pay for it, somehow, so it might as well be you."

If you cannot afford it, then you shouldn't go. Or am I blissfully naive and unaware. Am sure you'll tell me.

I was living in Penestanan, Ubud, a couple of years after the book was released and witnessed the throngs of middle aged women in search of themselves make the EPL pilgrimage to the town. I'm not as keen with Ubud as I used to be but still enjoy the place.
