Holidaymakers are set to save on trips to Bali with a $50 compulsory fee to be axed in the new year.
It's good news for tens of thousands of families who will now save hundreds of dollars on their trip.
Ross Taylor from the Indonesia Institute said Bali had always required Australians to get a Visa on Arrival, a document he said was "simply a tax", rather than an actual visa.
Bali is the most popular holiday spot for Aussies, with hundreds of thousands visiting annually, and Indonesia collects millions in visa tax from Western Australians alone.
The end of the policy will see a family of four save $200, cash Indonesian officials hope will be spent locally.
The last time the tax was axed, Australian visitors increased by 16 per cent.
"That's what's concerning authorities in a broader sense, ensuring those big numbers going to Bali, will stay that way," Taylor said.
But some of that cash will be spent on environmental issues.
The money will go towards "environmental conservation, nature preservation, cultural enhancement, and overall quality improvement", the country said.
"I think a lot of Australians would support that, it'll be used to support directly to address some of the really big environmental challenges Bali has," Taylor said.
