It has been a long time coming but at last, the tourist arrivals in Bali has surpassed all expectations.

This is great news for the locals and traders and this continuous increase in tourism revenue is truly welcomed. Now that Garuda Indonesia has provided three daily flights to Indonesia from Perth in Western Australia, it will not be long before other airlines follow suit and that can only be good for Bali. The Bali Tourism Agency has done a fabulous job on promoting the island not only in Australia, but also overseas. It would be immensely pleasing to see those Balinese-owned companies and hotels who use a green policy be well patronised by the massive influx of tourists. After all, eco-tourism is the way of the future in travel.
