received it's first setback after the attack on the twin towers when Americans and many Europeans stopped travelling.
( I leave Asian tourists out of the equation as their short stays at in different accommodation skew the figures.)
Next came SARS - remember that.
Little George then embarked on two wars both of which had a big negative impact.
Bali bomb 1 was a tremendous setback and things were starting to get back to normal when the second attack happened. Contary to what you assert the second bombings had a greater impact than the first.
In 2008 the good times returned - 2009 was busier again and this year ( barring accidents) will be another record year.
Our booking schedule tells the story. Seven bad yearsin a row.
