Over the years, it has been known that Bali has attracted quite a number of tourists, both foreign and local, and even Hollywood stars and artists as well. This time, Bali has seduced yet another interesting personality in the person of Janet De Neefe.
Aside from being attracted to the Bali luxury villas and Bali villas resort, Janet De Neefe is also attracted to the general beauty of Bali. She owns Casa Luna, Indus and Bar Luna and has also co-founded the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival. A Melbourne-born artist, she has seen Bali’s true beauty.
In her stay of over 30 years on the island, De Neefe can say that a lot have already changed in Bali especially its technology. Also, she sees that roads have become a priority and have, as a result, improved. Asked what she sees are the negative impacts of tourism on Bali, De Neefe says that it would have to be infrastructure as there are so many narrow roads and the cars are growing in number. This is also to add to the already great number of tourists.
However, she also sees that the positive impacts of it on the people are raising their standard of living.
This year, particularly on October 12, will be the 10th anniversary of the Bali bombings. When asked what she would do to commemorate the event, she said she will not be doing much as that was a bad thing to have happened and should not be celebrated only remembered.
Perhaps, the most important thing she said as to what makes her want to keep her romance with the island of Bali, she says that it is warm and kind people family values, sense of community, food, landscape, and the arts to say the least.
