5 Reasons to Book Bali Now
Now that the recent eruptions from Mount Agung have subsided, Bali is back to its beautiful best. If you’re thinking about Bali for your next holiday, but unsure whether the time is right, take a look below; you’ll see that there really has never been a better time to visit Bali.
1. Fewer Crowds
At this time of year, Bali usually gets pretty congested. However, since the minor eruptions and brief closures in November, which were confined to the east of the island, the whole of Bali has seen a sharp drop in tourist numbers. While this is bad news for the island’s tourism industry, it’s great news for tourists. Visitors can enjoy Bali without the queues or crowds that would usually be expected over the holidays. Shrines, temples, beaches, surf breaks and villages have returned to the quiet serenity that first made them famous. For the time being, the island is your own personal paradise, so book soon before the crowds come back!
2. Greater Choice
Another effect of recent events in Bali is the abundance of choice and ease of booking you can expect in the island’s many hotels, resorts and facilities. Visitors to Bali at the moment can take their pick of the best accommodation and activities available. Reservations in restaurants are a thing of the past, while fewer tourists in competition for bookings has improved service and value.
3. Better Value
Airlines, hotels and operators are all looking to rejuvenate their Bali traffic at the moment, which leaves budget-conscious travellers heading to Bali in a healthy position. Flights to Bali are currently undersubscribed, which has lowered costs, whilst many hotels, restaurants, bars, clubs, activities and wellness centres have lowered their prices to attract more of the intrepid visitors who have made it to the island.
4. Contribute to Bali’s recovery
The eruptions at Agung back in November resulted in precautionary closures and evacuations, affecting several local businesses and denting the island’s economy as a whole. Many local people’s livelihoods were seriously affected by the disruptions. Now that Bali is returning to normal, you can actively help contribute to the islanders’ recovery. Simply by taking a holiday in Bali, you are showing solidarity with Bali’s residents and, in contributing to the local economy, helping them to get back on their feet.
5. It’s Bali!
Bali is frequently voted the world’s favourite holiday destination; if you’ve ever been here, you’ll understand why it is so popular. This miraculous tropical island is home to picturesque landscapes; white sandy beaches, world-famous hospitality; superb hotels, resorts and wellness retreats; and a rich cultural heritage that underpins every aspect of island life. Visitors to Bali fall immediately under its spell. With so much on offer, it’s time to book your ticket and experience the magic for yourself.
