Looking for Nature and Adventure? Come to Bali!

Recently, Bali has been shaken with the eruption of Mount Agung. Travellers are hesitating to come due to this issue. This affects the Indonesian economy, for there is a potential loss of 1.2 million tourists during the fourth quarter of 2017 with lost revenue potentially reaching 2.47 trillion rupiah. Despite this news, the Indonesian authorities are reassuring tourists that it is safe to visit the island, but are encouraged to stay out of the danger zone. There is a misconception that the danger of the volcano covers the whole island instead of just one part in the corner. The National Agency for Disaster Management (BNPB) stated that the danger zone is only within a radius of 8-10 km from the summit of Mount Agung. In brief, it is safe to travel as long as we avoid the Mount Agung area. Still not convinced? Let us tell you otherwise.
