A hospitality college in Bali, Indonesia, has begun accepting coconuts as tuition payment as students face economic hardship as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. When students at the Venus One Tourism Academy pay their fees with coconuts, the college will use them to harvest virgin coconut oil, UPI reported.

印尼巴厘岛的一所酒店管理学院已经开始接受那些因新冠疫情有经济困难的学生用椰子当学费。合众国际社报道称，如果维纳斯一号旅游学院的学生用椰子来付学费，学院将用其压榨成纯椰子油。

Alternatively, students can pay using leaves from moringa and gotu kola plants, which can be converted into herbal soap and sold to raise money for the academy, Food & Wine added. Bali is a major international tourist destination but in August, the Balinese government closed the island to non-Indonesian visitors until 2021, BBC News reported.

《美食与美酒》杂志还指出，学生也可以选择用辣木和积雪草的叶子来抵学费，这种叶子可以被制成草本皂出售，为学院筹款。巴厘岛是一个主要国际旅游目的地，但据BBC新闻报道，巴厘岛政府在八月份禁止非印尼游客进岛，这一禁令将持续到2021年。
