There is a reason Bali is called the Island of Gods and because of the same reason it is once again ranked as one of the best "Islands in Asia" according to the rankings by Condé Nast. Guess we are going to expect more and more tourists visiting to experience and explore all that Pulau Dewata has to offer.
Bali may have experienced a little scare for international tourism last year with a lot of things happening, from Mount Agung eruptions to what government and House of Representatives almost passing a revision by draconian standards for Indonesian criminal code. That included majority of articles prohibiting sex outside of marriage and cohabitation. That did create a lot panic among the international foreign circles and news outlets.
We would like to remind you once again that there is no law against premarital sex ban in Bali and those revision passage have been delayed indefinitely.
Bali, The Island of Gods offers all kinds of tourists a perfect eclectic mixture of stunningly beautiful beaches, night life, lush green forests,active volcanoes, waterfalls, surfing and a variety of vibrant culture, traditions and a dynamic lifestyle.
