DENPASAR. The number of foreign tourists visiting the Indonesian resort island of Bali in the first seven months of 2015 rose 10.09 percent to 2,299,995 from the same period last year.
"I believe 95 percent of foreign tourists who have expressed intention to visit Bali again will enable tourist arrivals in Bali to exceed the government-set target of four million for 2015," tourism observer Dewa Nyoman Putraman said here on Sunday.
Despite the global economic slowdown, the number of foreign tourists visiting Bali via Ngurah Rai Airport remained stable in the January-July 2015 period, he said.
This means that the number of tourist arrivals in Bali over the period reached 2.2 million, he said.
