But now, Ubud’s hotels and shops have few customers and the streets are uncharacteristically devoid of traffic. Tour buses, typically ubiquitous, have vanished.

Sales clerks, waiters and spa workers sit in front of their empty establishments, chatting with each other and offering their services to the occasional tourist who walks by.

Many worry whether they will be able to keep their jobs.

“This is the quietest I have ever seen Ubud,” said Dewa Septiana, 25, a barista at a coffee shop. “Usually this street will be full of traffic. But since the airport closing last week, it has been empty here. Very empty.”

I Made Gunarta, 53, who operates the Yoga Barn, a yoga studio and guesthouse, said that his yoga classes typically attract 50 students but now have 20. The guesthouse usually has 80 percent occupancy but is now only half full.

He is concerned that he may not be able to keep all of his 250 employees.

“The impact of the eruption is very huge,” he said. “This definitely will hit the economy. The people who will be affected most by this situation are the people with the lowest income.”
