Bali is a beautiful island situated within Indonesian Archipelago and one of the best tourist destinations in Asia for both pleasure and business. In the 1930s some of the foreign writers and artists arrived in Bali and stayed on, thoroughly seduced and inspired by the island’s breathtaking physical beauty and cultural complexity. They were also deeply impressed by the warmth and the hospitality of the Balinese, and the amazing breadth of artistic expression that pervaded daily life.

Besides all that Bali Island is also an ideal place for having MICE (Meeting, Incentive, Convention, Exhibition) and honeymoons.
Tourism actually has been becoming a massive industry in Bali and the main source of Bali’s income over the recent years.
In October 2002 and again in October 2005 Bali was frightened by a violence terrorist’s attack, the boom blast that devastated the island of Bali and the international community, which has slowed down the tourism factor due to fear and not understanding of what really happened there. More than 200 lives were lost and hundreds more were injured. It needed months for recoveries to both people and buildings and the Balinese people are still working hard to rebuild the image of the island and we look forward to a brighter and promising future for the Balinese and our tourism industry.
The Balinese have their own way to respond to the terrorist attack not by physical violence but by peaceful means; performing major cleansing ceremonies, prayer and hopes, establishing a memorial for the lost lives, because the Balinese believe that the true and utmost prayer have a magic power to face up to evil as well as the fact that they understand that not all people are evil. The Balinese doctrine Ruwa Bineda tells that all nature is eternally divided into pairs both high and low, right and left, day and night, strong and weak, healthy and sick, clean and unclean; in general: good and evil, life and death. Each compliments the other within the scope of creation, and the Balinese ritual always strives to maintain a middle ground in essence: a harmony between two poles. So wherever one goes, be a wise man and beware of any possible dangers and put have yourself on guard just in case, because the good and the bad are everywhere in this world not just Bali.
All the appropriate efforts have been performed by Indonesian Government and the Balinese people and also by the world in order to keep the island a peaceful place for people to come and visit. For the Balinese after performing major ceremonies and rebuilds, it is now time to move ahead and leave the incident behind us. Bali Loves Peace is our motto, peace for everyone, and peace for the world; no one should feel threatened at any time. Many of the visitors to Bali have been proved the peace of the island after the incident and have left Bali with a pleasantly memorable stay.
