TEMPO Interactive, Yogyakarta:Yogya’s refined batik is not considered saleable enough for overseas sales. The main cause is its expensive price and the fact that it is not massively produced.In October 2010, batik exports was only 0.50 million kilogram with a value of US$ 2,92 million.

...just like everyone else here then. The glorious socialist 5 minute plan.

it's completely out of control. infrastructure is splitting at the seams. regency and provincial govts are run by complete utter morons still coming to terms with the 19th century. and absolute minimal planning.

Well yeah I guessed many would be villas, but don't you get the impression that Bali is fast approaching saturation point?

it's a rather broad definition of "hotel". Most are private villas that may be rented to 3rd parties from time to time. the govt and 5* hotels in bali get all rather hot and flustered about villas.

55,000 hotels on an island that size? Jesus. Bali's gonna sink soon. The irony being that every other tourist destination in the country is virtually deserted. I've seen paddling his canoe around one of them...
