For those who have frequently travelled to Bali, Indonesia, this might be news to you.

Bali authorities have launched a fresh crackdown to fine and deport unruly non-nationals to combat the growing number of trouble-making tourists.

A hotline has been set up through the island's latest task force called Bali Becik for people to call in and report bad behaviour.

Locals and those living on the island have been strongly encouraged to use the hotline to report foreign nationals breaking the law or disrespecting cultural norms.

The task force was launched on request from the immigration director general, Silmy Karim.

With a target of 100 immigration control operations every month set, a rise in fines and even deportations has been forecasted.

"We hope that with the formation of the Bali Becik Task Force, the level of violations of laws and norms by foreigners in Bali will decrease," Karim told local reporters.

Karim claimed there was a strong link between low-spending tourists and the amount of trouble they caused.

"The main problem regarding foreigners in Bali is the large number of foreign tourists with low spending who often make trouble," he said.

"Because Bali is included in the category of cheap tourist destinations, so it attracts thin-pocketed tourists."
