The resort island of Bali in Indonesia aims to encourage tourism by offering Covid-19 vaccinations to tourists.
The Indonesia government said this week vaccines would be offered to both domestic and international travelers.
According to the Financial Times, plans include free access to AstraZeneca and Sinovac for domestic travelers and paid access to Sinopharm and other jabs for international tourists.
Sandiaga Uno, Indonesia's Minister for Tourism and Cultural Economy, announced the initiative.
There is no definite date for the plan's implementation, which is still subject to approval by President Joko Widodo.
Plans to reopen the island to international tourists are also set to be delayed.
"We were targeting the end of July, beginning of August, but we just have to be mindful of where we are in this recent" rise in coronavirus cases, Uno told Reuters in an interview.
In recent weeks, the number of reported cases has risen across Indonesia, including in Bali.
According to Johns Hopkins University data, Indonesia had a record high of 21,342 daily cases Sunday. In Bali, the number of cases each day averages around 200.
Uno told journalists that he hoped to reduce Bali's daily infections to 30 or 40 before reopening the country to tourists.
Domestic visitors from throughout the country can still visit Bali, but they must now have a negative PCR test before accessing the island.
Visa-free travel for overseas visitors has been suspended, and only individuals with pre-approved visas who are willing to be quarantined in Jakarta for five days can enter as tourists.
Bali also hopes to entice more digital nomads to the island by offering a five-year visa and zero tax on earnings from overseas initiatives.
In 2019, more than 6 million tourists visited the island. Before the outbreak denied visits in 2020, the island welcomed approximately 1 million tourists.
