the affordability of Bali (being "cheap as chips" as you say) enables families that would never normally dream of being able to go on a carefree (financially) holiday especially not one overseas to experience all of this.
I know living in Aus, we're all very blessed and don't have nearly the same hardships that those living in Bali do and as such we shouldn't whinge and whine about a few dollars here and there however for some tourists it is these few dollars here and there that are the difference between being able to holiday or not.
I'm not having a go at all, as there is truth to your statements, just showing another side to the argument I guess. Not everyone that travels to Bali is able to do so a few times a year, every year - some families save for a good few years before being able to get over there.
