In Reply to: Are they saying it's a question posted by gecko on Saturday, 20. March 2010 at 07:13 Bali Time:
To make up for the fall in the number of Japanese tourists, the Indonesian government allowed additional flights by budget airlines such as Air Asia.
Budget Airlines = Budget Tourists. Plus many Australian tourists such as myself went to Bali more than once last year, encouraged by those $A77 fares.
This would have cut the average length of stay and the average daily spend.
