Australia leads the Bali charge
DENPASAR – The number of Australians visiting Bali increased by 37 percent to 180,686 tourists during the first six months of this year, Antara news agency reports.
The head of the Bali Bureau of Statistics, Ida Komang Wisnu, told the news agency that overall the number of foreign tourists visiting Bali increased by 10 percent in the first half of the year to 1.07 million over the same period of last year.
Australia was the number one source market to Bali, followed by Japan with 154,071 tourists and China with 97,930.
The sharp rise in visitors from Australia has been driven largely by low-cost carriers AirAsia and Jetstar brining extra capacity onto a route previously dominated by Garuda Indonesia and Qantas.
Visitor numbers to Bali from Japan, South Korea and Taiwan fell in the first half of the year.
