Pricing themselves out of the market

Posted by kaput on Friday, 26. February 2010 at 13:25 Bali Time:

I have just returned from Bali and have found that almost all hotels etc are pricing themselves out of the market. It is interesting to see that the prices are very similar to Australia, the difference being the owners only pay their staff 50,000idr per day or they may have to live off taxes received. It is about time tourists reminded the Balinese/Javanese owners that they are being ripped off. It may be a great place to stay and visit but that does not warrant being ripped off every way one turns.
Greed is the name comes to mine
