Justice for Tourist Transportation Business Services against Foreign Tourists Who Drive Without a Driver's License

Transportation, as a supporting facility for tourism in Bali, benefits significantly from the high number of tourist visits. This aligns with Article 14 Paragraph (1) Letter C of the Tourism Law, which stipulates that tourist transportation services are part of tourism activities. However, in reality, many tourists, especially foreign tourists, prefer to drive independently without using tourist transportation services, and some even drive without a driver's license (SIM). This situation creates injustice for tourist transportation service providers in Bali. To be able to drive on Indonesian roads, including Bali, foreign tourists are required to have an international driver's license issued in their country of origin. This study aims to analyze the legal protection for tourist transportation service providers in addressing the phenomenon of foreign tourists driving without a driver's license. The method used is normative legal research with a statutory and conceptual approach, particularly in examining the term "tourist transportation," which remains unclear as to whether it refers to both the driver and the vehicle or simply the vehicle. The analysis was conducted descriptively and normatively by examining legal materials such as Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Traffic and Road Transportation, Police Regulation Number 5 of 2021 concerning Driving Licenses, and Bali Governor Regulation Number 28 of 2020 concerning Bali Tourism Management. This research emphasizes the importance of law enforcement to prevent foreign tourists from driving without a license, while also ensuring fairness for tourism transportation service providers.
