With all due respect,...i've never claimed a mass exodus from Bali,.. I quoted various figures and give a link for confirmation of same by the Boss of Qantas,...I didn't accuse the staff of deliberately lying,.. i've not accused you of lying...
Now you say you've involved in tourism trade to a certain extent,... well when it come to Bali,.. i've since '76 done 50 return trips,... during that time I lived and worked in Bali for over 5 yrs in tourism,... i've been invited to give lectures on Bali and tourism by UTS in Sydney,....I was called on by all major Australian tour operators to host educational on Bali tourism (Qantas holiday Garuda Orient holidays creative tours, flight centre and many others)
I most likely are one of the most informed people posting on this site,...unlike those so called experts that have done nothing more than hang around bars and beaches
Yes this's a Bali forum, but it's not restricted to only those that promote Bali as a place of no problems,.. with every thing and everybody nice as pie.
The forum is for those that are prepared to share their experiences GOOD or BAD,....the advice can be taken or ignored,... i've not advised anybody on this forum not to go to Bali,....i've given what ever advice I can to those committed to going in the hope they have a good holiday,.... a good holiday can be achieved by being advised of possible problems...
Also been honest in my advice to those requesting general information.
