We think its affected everyone. Business has slowed a little, overall it’s not really had an major impact so far.
There are craftsmen who have shut up shop but we have alternative suppliers.
Bali being a tourist island has been hit very hard, as 80% of it’s revenue is from tourism, and the borders have been closed for since the start of the pandemic. In 2019 there were 6.5 million tourists who visited Bali. In 2021 the official figure was 45!
Indonesia is now open and steadily visitors are increasing, Bali is starting to get busier again.
Covid has had an impact on ocean freight with some delay and rising prices. But this is a global problem. Also raw materials are increasing.
