because now only 10% of visitors come from Australia and their numbers are still well down from pre-bomb numbers (about 40% down) whereas countries like Taiwan, Korea and others have several times as many visitors to Bali as before. Of course the airlines fly in accordance with demand and the bulk demand is not from Australia at the moment.There are 6-8 direct flights a day from Singapore all virtually full bringing visitors from Middle East, India, SE Asia.
By all means try to increase tourist numbers from Australia but the most important markets now and for the future have shifted.
