Indonesia is called"a country on thousands of islands", and the BaliIsland is well known as a bright pearl with beautiful names such as "heaven island"and"fairy island".
In recent years, Chinese tourists become one of the main tourist sources and give fresh impetus to Bali tourism. According to statistic, from 2006 on, the number of Chinese tourists has come to make up a quarter of the total tourist number. The number of tourists from some developed cities of China such as Beijing, Shanghai is increasing gradually. During Spring Festival and Golden Weeks of May and October, tourists from Beijing and Shanghai even charter flights to Bali. Therefore, Bali Tourism takes China as the most important tourist source market.
There are 360 travel agencies in Bali, one fourth of which are dealing with foreign markets. The tourism presentation made Shopping Tour to Yiwu an appeal to many travel agencies of Bali. Lin Mingsheng, president of Bali Tourism League, said when he led tour groups to China before, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Kunming, Guiling were the regular destinations they would visit.
