Conference success to boost tourism
December 26th, 2007
DENPASAR: Tourist agents have expressed optimism that Bali tourism will increase following the island’s success in hosting the recent climate change conference in Nusa Dua.
“We are absolutely optimistic the number of foreign tourists visiting Bali will rise in the years to come,” Bali tourist agent Made Supatra Karang told Antara.
“After the conference on climate change, the number of foreign tourists arriving at Ngurah Rai international airport has reached a daily average of 6,000,” Made said.
He said a rise in the hotel occupancy rate to 80-90 percent ahead of Christmas and New Year’s was a sign the tourism sector in Bali would soon bounce back. — JP
