to the tune of around 50% according to the journalist.
So Western Australians (as the majority of Australian visitors) are averaging 3 to 4 days stay and spending just one third than they were ten years ago.
More chance of an Indonesian copper saying "no licence ..no problem, on your way"!!
It's rubbish Mr H, but people are so transfixed on the issue regarding Australians behaviour that they can't see the ridiculous statements being made about statistics.
Badly behaving Australians/Germans/Russians/Kiwis/Poms/Nordics keep mature people (Not only mature in age) away from Tuban, Kuta, Legian and Seminyak.....not away from Bali.
Select the right area, the right accommodation and the right time of the year and all will most likely be fine, as with anywhere.
I expect journalists to reflect the facts....but then again we are getting back to the chance of an Indonesian copper saying "on your way".
P.S. Does the Masa have "Pool Bingo?" :0)
