HOLIDAYMAKERS heading to Bali have been warned to be on their best behaviour as over a dozen Brits have been deported this year.

Authorities have kicked out 13 tourists visiting from the UK amid a strict crackdown on rule-breakers who are misbehaving.

In an effort to curb bad behaviour on the Indonesian island, officials have even set up a hotline for locals to call to dob in rowdy tourists.

More than 200 unruly visitors have been given the boot from Bali this year alone.

A whopping 213 travellers from 45 different countries have been deported by officials during their trips since January.

As well as the horde of Brits, 12 Australians, 59 Russians and 14 Americans have been chucked out so far.

Anggiat Napitupulu, the head of Indonesia's Ministry of Law and Human Rights, triumphantly shared the figures with reporters.

Authorities have stepped up their mission to stamp out anti-social behaviour and have been banishing people for barmy reasons.

This includes issues with visa requirements and travel documents, as well as tourists disrespecting Bali's culture and traditions.

Despite the year not even being over yet, the figures have already dwarfed last year's 188 tourist deportations.

Indonesia's Director General of Immigration Silmy Karim announced he was setting up a major task force to tackle wild holidaymakers.

Those disobeying Bali's strict rules can be slapped with fines, restorative justice punishments and deportation.

Karim called on locals to do their part, saying people should report any bad behaviour via a special hotline.

His task force is also enforcing the tourist tax, which was brought in to help the island preserve its culture.

Officials have also laid out a string of dos and don'ts for travellers.

The lengthy list, dubbed the "good tourist guidebook", reminds visitors to respect the sanctity of sacred grounds and religious attractions while respecting the nation's customs.

Last year, a Russian yoga influencer sparked outrage after posing completely naked for a photo under a sacred tree in Bali.

Travellers have been urged to dress "modestly", behave politely, comply with local laws and use local tour guides.

Officials warned tourists they may feel the wrath of the immigration department if they go against the country's rules.

Holidaymakers were told not to litter, use single-use plastics, utter offensive words or trespass on sacred ceremonies.

Bali is also hoping to ban foreign tourists from hopping on motorbikes to zoom down the island.

It comes amid a spate of serious injuries and deaths on mopeds.

Governor Wayan Koster said earlier: "[Tourists] are disorderly and they misbehave.

"You [should] not roam about the island using motorbikes, without wearing shirts or clothes, no helmet, and even without a licence."
