Bali Targets 3 Million Tourists in 2012

As the tourist arrivals in 2011 reached a total of 2.7 million, this year, the stakeholders of Bali’s tourism industry are targeting a whopping 3 million tourist arrivals. They are further confident that the gloomy and unstable economies of the many countries in the world will not have much impact or effect on Bali’s tourism. They also claim that Bali can increase its tourist arrivals by as much as 10 percent this year.

The Australians continue to rank first among all foreign nationals in terms of tourist arrival in Bali comprising 30 percent of the total tourist population in the island. Trailing it is China with 9 percent while Japanese comes in at third. The causes of Japan falling in third place with only 7 percent are the tsunami and earthquake disasters sometime in the middle of last year.

If Bali is able to achieve its goal, it would have an increase of 8.8 percent from the record of 2,756,579 tourists who came to visit Bali last year.

In order to achieve this, a call for support to all tourism stakeholders and the public has been made by IB Kade Subhisku, Head of the Bali Tourism Office, so that the government to overcome all the hindrances and problems that face Bali.

The Bali government sees that it needs to strengthen its tourism attractions such as the luxury Bali villas, Bali villas resort, and private villas in Bali by having attractive packages for their guests. The influx of tourists to Bali won’t be a problem since there are already many villas for rent Bali as well as luxury villas in Bali.
