Bali hotels face blacklist threat

Tuesday, 04 Feb, 2013 0

The Jakarta Post reports that the Bali Chapter of the Indonesian Association of Tour and Travel Agencies (ASITA) is threatening to blacklist hotels and other accommodation providers in Bali known to be working with illegal online travel agencies.

The chairman of ASITA – Bali, Ketut Ardana, said the move was necessary to slow the growth in illegal online agencies selling Bali accommodation and to compensate for the lack of active enforcement by the provincial government.

The number of foreign tourists that visited Bali last year totaled 2.94 million, a rise of 4.3% compared to the previous year.

The five top source countries were Australia (27.1%), China (10.7%), Japan (6.4%), Malaysia (5.7%) and South Korea (4.1%).

The average occupancy rate at starred hotels during December reached 63.2%, with the average length of stay being 3.23 days.

The average occupancy rate at non-starred hotels during December was 34.1%, with an average length of stay of 2.47 days.
