Bali tourism gearing up to welcome the 2013 APEC Summit


This coming November 2013, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit will kick off in Indonesia. This is the reason why the tourism stakeholders are preparing for the arrival of guests and participants.


It is expected that the said summit will pose a positive impact on the economic condition of the island. This is a reassurance from Ida Bagus Ngurah Wijaya, the chairman of the Bali Chapter of Indonesian Tourism Industry Association.


“We are now witnessing the influx of foreign and domestic investment flowing into various sectors — infrastructure and tourist accommodation, in particular,” Wijaya has added.


Having the summit in Bali entails a lot of preparations from the part of the government. Among the steps taken include the improvement on infrastructure on the island, expansion of the airport, the Dewa Ruci underpass, and the toll road that connects Nusa Dua-Benoa and Ngurah Rai International Airport.


More about the APEC

APEC is considered as the primary forum created to facilitate economic growth, cooperation, as well as investment and trade in the said region. Established in 1989, it aims to enhance the growth of the economy, as well as the prosperity of the Asia Pacific region.


“Both before and after the summit, the current infrastructure projects will give additional value to Bali as an international tourist destination,” said Wijaya.


On a more general note, this summit will also feature Bali and its Bali luxury villas, Bali villas resort, and private villas in Bali. And when the guests and participants stay in the said luxury villas in Bali, they will see for themselves the reason why the island continues to be a top tourist destination in the world.
