Chinese tourists contributed 12.6% to total foreign tourist arrivals in Bali that month, which reached 255,021.
From January to October, the total number of Chinese tourists reached 273,684, a rise of 37.7% compared to the same period last year.
The number of European tourists visiting Bali during October decreased, especially from Germany, the UK and France.
