Having a trip to Bali is everyone’s
dream. Most Indoonesian even foreigner know Bali as well. Bali is an Indonesian
island
located in the westernmost end of the Lesser Sunda Islands, lying between Java
to the west and Lombok
to the east. It is one of the country's 33 provinces with the provincial capital at Denpasar
towards the south of the island (strictly speaking, the province covers a few
small neighbouring islands as well as the isle of Bali). With a population
recorded as 3,891,000 in the 2010 census, the island is home to most of
Indonesia's small Hindu
minority. In the 2000 census about 92.29% of Bali's population adhered to Balinese Hinduism while most of the
remainder follow Islam. It is also the largest tourist destination in the
country and is renowned for its highly developed arts, including traditional
and modern dance, sculpture, painting, leather, metalworking,
and music.
Bali, a tourist heaven for decades, has seen a further surge in tourist numbers
in recent years.
The
tourism industry is primarily focused in the south, while significant in the
other parts of the island as well. The main tourist locations are the town of Kuta (with its beach), and
its outer suburbs of Legian and Seminyak (which were once independent townships), the east
coast town of Sanur (once the only tourist hub), in the
center of the island Ubud,
to the south of the Ngurah Rai International Airport,
Jimbaran,
and the newer development of Nusa Dua and Pecatu.
The American government lifted its
travel warnings in 2008. As of 2009, the Australian government still rates it
at a 4 danger level (the same as several countries in central
Africa) on a scale of 5.
Kuta
Beach is a popular tourist spot in Bali
An offshoot of tourism is the
growing real estate industry. Bali real estate has been rapidly developing in
the main tourist areas of Kuta, Legian, Seminyak and Oberoi. Most recently,
high-end 5 star projects are under development on the Bukit peninsula, on the
south side of the island. Million dollar villas are being developed along the
cliff sides of south Bali, commanding panoramic ocean views. Foreign and
domestic (many Jakarta individuals and companies are fairly active) investment
into other areas of the island also continues to grow. Land prices, despite the
worldwide economic crisis, have remained stable.
Nowadays
many domestic or abroad people visit Bali, they are looking for the cheaper
accomodation to get there. Here I give some tips to get there with the cheap cost :
- Avoid the holiday season as June-August school holidays, Fitri Mubarak, Christmas and New Year long weekend. In the period of such holiday, prices will go up at all. Price of a car or motorcycle rental, hotels, tour packages and others will rise too.
- For hotels, we can get a cheap price if we look for after we depart there. Almost never have an agent who sold the hotel at a price of Rp. 100 thousands, so we have to look for as own to get the cheap hotel.
- If your budget is limited, compared to rental car, rental motors is cheaper than car. Rent a bike it is much more efficient and more agile, anti-jam too. To rent a bike, can be started from the airport or hotel accommodation.
- We can eat some food in the shop alone. Although friends live in a hotel or lodging, please tour around also for surveys in which there is a place to eat cheap. In Bali there are many food stalls, rice mix, stalls Java, Balinese food stall, rice fields, rice Jinggo and others.
