What drives Badung’s economy? Accommodation, dining and transport in the data

Recovery was strong, but uneven

Badung’s real GRDP contracted 16.55% in 2020 and 6.74% in 2021. It then grew 9.97% in 2022, 11.29% in preliminary 2023 data and 5.94% in very preliminary 2024 data.

Those labels matter. BPS may revise the newest years, and current-price values combine changes in output and prices. Real-growth figures are the better basis for statements about economic expansion.

Accommodation and dining regained weight

Accommodation and food-service value added rose from IDR 10.415 trillion in 2021 to IDR 19.318 trillion in 2024 at current prices. Its share of Badung’s economy increased from 23.21% to 25.72%, while real growth reached 18.44% in 2022, 20.54% in 2023 and 10.47% in 2024.

Transport reflects the gateway recovery

Transport and storage moved from IDR 5.734 trillion in 2021 to IDR 21.361 trillion in 2024 at current prices. Real-estate value added, by contrast, recorded real growth of 2.47% in 2022, 0.58% in 2023 and 2.28% in 2024.

The difference is useful: tourism-facing sectors recovered sharply, but the official series does not demonstrate parcel-level rent or land-value appreciation in Berawa.

Commercial implication

A Berawa concept should be designed around an addressable customer and repeatable operator economics—not simply the word “growth.” Day-to-night uses, access and parking, a differentiated offer and resilience outside peak tourism periods matter more than macro headlines alone.
