Balinese hopeful that Aussie visitor numbers are on the mend
24/04/2007
January to March arrival numbers are in, and it seems that Australians are once again returning back to the Indonesian island with March 2007 welcoming 13,624 Australian visitors signifying a 60% increase when compared to March 2006.
March 2006 saw only 8,518 Aussie travellers to Bali, which was a drastic decrease from the 2005 figures of 21,483. And comparing 2006 figures to 2004, it seems that Bali recovered better from a terrorism attack than the lingering upset over Aussie drug convictions, with 2004 receiving 20,750 Aussie visitors.
On the whole, March 2007 showed that visitors to Bali are at all time highs with March receiving 120,673 visitors. A 43.47% improvement when compared to the 84,109 visitors who arrived in March 2006
