BALI - Spending Less and Leaving Sooner

Balidiscovery.com, (6/9/2007)

Tempo Interaktif reports that length of stay (LOS) and average spending levels are on the decline for foreign visitors to Bali. Data analyzed from Bali's Central Statistics Board (BPS) for the months of March-April 2007 also showed an increase in tourists staying in non-starred hotels.
