Early this week, a clean water crisis hit Gili Trawangan, pushing hundreds of tourists to check out early. Hotels and businesses are struggling to cope, with some even draining swimming pools for basic sanitation. The timing couldn't be worse, with over 3,000 visitors a day making the disruption particularly challenging.

  • The crisis has prompted intervention from the West Nusa Tenggara government, who are working on a short-term solution.
  • Operators are raising the issue with local and central governments, and even considering writing to President Prabowo Subianto for help.
