Bali’s iconic Tanah Lot to launch e-ticketing system tomorrow
One of Bali’s most iconic temples and popular tourist attraction, Tanah Lot, is getting an upgraded ticketing system beginning tomorrow.
Visitors who have been to this temple might be aware that Tanah Lot’s current ticketing system involves the staff ripping a part of your ticket before letting you into the complex.
That will soon be a thing of the past, as they are set to launch an e-ticketing system that provides visitors with barcodes.
“The application of e-ticketing is only different for the entry tickets, which will now come with barcodes, and will be scanned by a [ticket] checker. Each staff on duty will be equipped with a portable validation machine,” I Ketut Toya Adnyana, an operational manager at Tanah Lot, told Tribun-Bali, referring to a barcode scanner.
According to Tabanan regent, Ni Putu Eka Wiryastuti, the e-ticketing system in Tanah Lot will serve as a trial run, before they adopt the same method for other tourist attractions on the island.
Some of Bali’s most classic destinations, including many of its popular temples, still operate using an old-fashioned ticketing system. Meanwhile, some newer attractions like Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park in Ungasan, has already adopted barcode technology, and even allowing visitors to purchase their tickets online.
