The problem is indeed the kind of tourists that visit bali now.
In the past most travellers were europeans,aussies or americans. These tourists used to go out for shopping,dining, visiting bars etc so they were the big spenders in bali.
The taiwanese ie usually have an all included holiday, this means at evening they are brought to a restaurant for diner by bus (no need for a taxi), the drinks at their diner or lunch is included and afterwards they return as a group back to their hotel. Local people from Java who come on holiday on Bali don't have enough money to go eating in Ku De Ta, Indo restaurant or others, most of them even don't use the taxis, because they are to expensive (they use the bemo or motor-taxi instead). Neither do these people visit the bars etc.
