Which country is better, Maldives, Bali or the Philippines?

Bali is the leading goose in Indonesia's tourism industry, accounting for 45% of Indonesia's tourism revenue for several years in a row, and 8% of local residents in Bali are engaged in tourism. According to statistics, the total number of foreign tourists coming to Bali every year is more than 3 million, and the average occupancy rate of hotels is 9%. The foreign tourists in Bali used to be mainly Australians, Japanese, Europeans and Americans, but since 26, the number of China tourists has accounted for more than a quarter of the total number of foreign tourists. Tourists from economically developed cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are gradually increasing. During the Spring Festival and the "May Day" and "Eleventh" Golden Week, even tourists from Beijing and Shanghai charter flights to Bali. For this reason, Bali tourism regards China as the most important tourist source market to develop.

The hotel industry is the direct beneficiary of the increase of tourists in China. Hotels in Bali are particularly favorable for China tour groups. Although the price is low, they enjoy the same service. The manager of Isdana Hotel told the reporter that if it is a self-help tour, as long as you show your China passport to the front desk for registration, you will enjoy a greatly discounted room rate. This is also a goodwill expression of Bali Hotel to repay China tourists for helping them through the most difficult period.

In order to cope with the increasing number of tourists from China, the three largest tourism companies in Bali, namely, PERKASA, PENJOR and TMS, all provide Chinese tour guides. At present, there are about 2 official Chinese tour guides who have passed the qualification examination in the whole island. Xu, the reporter's guide, said that she receives an average of three China tour groups with about 8 people every month. In the past, the tour guides who received Japanese delegations went to the training school to train Chinese as a second foreign language. In Bali, the most popular tour guide training school sponsored by Indonesian Tourism Association is the Chinese and Korean training courses with the largest number of participants.

In order to attract more tourists from China to Indonesia, the Indonesian government has stepped up the promotion of Bali-led tourism to China. According to an official from the Indonesian Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the main measures include: First, simplifying the tourist visa procedures. Since August 1, 25, China tourists have obtained the convenience of landing visas in Indonesia. At present, this system is implemented in 52 countries including the United States, Australia and Japan. The customs clearance time for tourists has been greatly shortened. The second is to improve the tourism environment. Relevant parties in Indonesia have stepped up security to ensure the safety of tourist areas and further improve the service level. Third, increase the airline service between China and Indonesia. At present, there are no direct flights from China to Bali, so we need to transfer to Jakarta or Singapore. Indonesian tourism department will promote direct flights from China to Bali. Fourth, actively organize colorful cultural and artistic activities to revive tourism in Bali. The Indonesian government has established the Bali Tourism Restoration Fund, which is 67 billion rupiah (about 2 million US dollars) and is mainly used to finance various cultural and artistic festivals and promote Bali's unique culture and art to the world. Bali will strive to build cultural tourism, inherit a long history, culture and art, and attract tourists from all over the world.
