MIDEASTERN TOURISTS TO BALI INCREASING
Denpasar, Indonesia, Aug 27 (ANTARA) -- The number of tourists from the Middle East to Bali has been increasing lately, and therefore the number of tourist guides to serve them also need to be increased especially those well-versed in matters relating to Islam.
Many tourists from countries in he Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Lebanon, and Syria, have come to the island paradise in increasing flocks, a tourist guide of Bali Made Kawiana said here Thursday.
According to the Bali Tourism Agency, the number of tourists from the Middle East to Bali, has been increasing substantially, especially in the early months of this year.
Those who came to Bali in June 2009 for instance reached 481, while in June they totaled only 268, and now their total in the first semester of 2009 had reached 1,656.
Efforts at further increasing the number of tourists coming to Bali particularly, and to Indonesia in general, may include convincing the peoples in the Arab countries that Bali is also very suitable and attractive for the development of Islamic religious centers.
The relations between Hindu and Islam in Bali had been growing harmoniously since the distant past, which is also a factor which may attract tourists to come to Bali, Made Kawi said.***
