Bali is keen to welcome grey nomads
Bali is laying out the welcome mat for golden oldies.
The island’s tourism bosses plan to establish a special body to develop tourism for older visitors, citing a rising trend among elderly travelers across the globe. ‘¨ ‘¨
The head of the Bali’s tourism agency, Ida Bagus Kade Subikshu, said organisations should make every effort to tap into opportunities arising from an aging global demographic.
‘¨’¨"The prospect for elderly tourism is huge. We’ve been discussing the plan to establish the body with relevant organisations," Kade told media in Denpasar.
Kade said Bali had so far failed to effectively cater to an older tourist segment.
"Bali has 16 tourist areas. We may develop some of them to accommodate older tourists," he added. Ԭլ
Bali drew 2.7 million foreign visitors in 2011, which represented more than one-third of the total visitors to Indonesia, according to the Central Statistics Agency. Ԭլ
Kade said older visitors, or those over 55-years-old, made up a large percentage of international tourists coming from the US, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Europe.
