Dubai – SAFARI NET

The foreign arrival numbers for Bali through the end of November 2013 totaled  2.97 million, surpassingthe highest total for any year in the history of Bali arrival even before final figures for December are in.

November arrivals totaled 307,208 – increasing month-on-month 26.95% over November 2012 when Bali had 241,985 foreign visitors. 

On a cumulative basis, Bali ended the first eleven months of 2013 with totals that were 13.55% ahead of the same period in 2012. It now seems certain that Bali will conclude 2013 with 3.28 million foreign visitors.

·        France – the 7th largest source market – grew 18.35% January-November 2013. France has moved up from the 8th ranking it held last year.

With a total of 192,391 visitors year-to-date, Japan's recovery in terms of arrival to Bali continues, reversing a trend of declining numbers over recent years, but still far short of more than 300,000 Japanese visitors recorded through the end of November in 2008 and 2009.
