From early 2017 up to this day, there are already 2.8 million overseas tourists who come to Bali. The same period last year only had 2.3 million tourists.

“This is a positive development for tourism in Bali, we’re optimistic that we can reach beyond the end-of-the-year target,” said Agung.

“Flying to Bali from European countries is easy because there are so many airlines that offer a direct flight from Europe to Bali,” he added.

Agung also mentioned that Bali is known as a safe place for traveling.

Tourism minister Arief Yahya said that Bali is the main entrance gate to Indonesia, which is why Bali needs to be developed more, “This is the best way to develop other destinations that are not in Bali,” said Arief.

He also mentioned about the only airport in Bali that is getting too crowded, and the alternative solution to building a new airport in North Bali in the near future. As for the short-term plan, Lombok is going to be developed soon as well as improving the Bali – Lombok route. (asw)
