However, the authorities say they are closely monitoring the situation in Russia and have increased checks at airports and ports.<\/p>\n\n

The measures are also applied in Bali, one of the main Asian destinations for Russian tourists. In just the first half of 2026 alone, the island was visited by nearly 130 thousand tourists from Russia.<\/p>\n\n
