• Bali's tourism Up and Rearing

Balidiscovery.com reports that at 166,633 foreign tourist arrivals to Bali during August 2007, the Island's record-breaking arrivals pattern is continuing apace, exceeding arrivals registered in August 2006 (118,104) by +41.09%.

On a year-to-date basis through the end of August 2007, arrivals have passed the 1 million mark hitting 1,077,200, a full +35.9% ahead of the first 8 months of 2006 (792,665). Arrivals thus far for 2007 also exceeded the "previous best" first 8 months of any year in the Island's history, beating by +7.2% the previous high of January-August 2005 of 1,004,656.

If the current trend of improvement in arrivals is sustained through the end of the year without any untoward incident, balidiscovery.com's trend-line analysis indicates Bali is on course to recording a historically impressive 1.7 million foreign arrival total for the current year.
