(2/10/2008) The National News Agency Antara reports that 154,000 foreign tourists visited Bali in January 2008.
While these figures remain preliminary until confirmed by yet-to-be-received official figures from Bali's immigration office, the 154,000 tally suggests a record-breaking start to 2008, exceeding arrival totals for January 2007 (109,504) by a whopping +40.63%.
As reported on balidiscovery.com [See: Bali's Year for the Record Books] Bali ended 2007 as the "best year ever" for foreign tourist arrivals with a cumulative total of 1,664,854 - a dramatic +32.1% increase over total arrivals for 2006 (1,260,317).
Bullish that Bali tourism will continue to grow apace, Bali tourism officials are targeting 1.9 million foreign arrivals for 2008 – an improvement of +14.12% over 2007.
The next installment of Bali by the Numbers will review the official arrival figures for January, expected shortly from officials at Bali's airport.
