Villas Bali will surely be experiencing another influx of tourists, particularly Japanese tourists, because of the gradual increase of Japanese tourists to the island.
Though their numbers have gone lower since 2011, it has been reported by the Tourism Bali Agency that Japanese people are slowly but surely returning to Bali.
Lagging behind Australia and China, Japan comprises the third largest group of foreign visitors to come to Bali with a total of 6.61 percent out of more than 2 million people. However, compared to 2010 where about 246,495 Japanese people came, this went down to only 183,284 in 2011.
However, as revealed by Ida Bagus Kade Subhiksu, Bali Tourism Agency Head, there has been an increase in the May to September period of 2012 in terms of the number of Japanese people coming to the island of Bali. They attribute the past decrease to the earthquake in Japan in 2011 and the global economic crisis.
They also pinpoint, as another factor of the decrease of Japanese tourist arrivals in Bali, the discontinuing of the direct flights from Japan to Bali. This has forced tourists to take a more expensive route to Jakarta first before heading for Bali.
According to Aswin Pranoto, Bali Hotel Public Relations Association Coordinator, he has indeed noticed a bigger number of Japanese tourists who usually stay for 3 to 4 nights in villas in Bali for rent in the Nusa Dua area.
Furthermore, according to I Nyoman Nuarta of the Bali Chapter of the Indonesian Tour Guide Association, Bali still remains to be a top choice of Japanese honeymooners.
With this, it is expected that the number of Japanese tourists to arrive in Bali will continue to rise and therefore make the villas Bali and villas in Bali for rent busier.
