Bali does not deserve black-list<\/p>\n
DENPASAR: There are no good grounds for putting Bali on the
\ninternational tourist destination black-list as the October 2002
\nbomb blasts could have happened anywhere, not only in Bali, said
\nBadung deputy regent I Made Sumer at Kadonganan beach, Kuta, on
\nMonday.<\/p>\n
Sumer made the statement while hosting some 100 readers of
\nGermany's biggest tabloid Bild.<\/p>\n
It was the second visit by Bild readers. The first group were
\nin Bali from June 14 to June 17.<\/p>\n
The group's leader, Rhemhold Thiel, said the group members
\nwere expected to share their experiences and accounts on what was
\ngoing on in Bali with other Bild readers back home.<\/p>\n
The group had obtained free flights and accommodation from a
\nnumber sponsors for their four-day visit, which ends Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Sumer hoped that the visit could restore the image of Bali as
\na safe haven for tourists after the Bali bomb blasts killed more
\nthan 200 lives and destroyed the tourist industry there.-- Antara<\/p>",
