The Bali tragedy

The Bali tragedy did not only shock Bali as the country's most famous tourist destination, but also the whole world. A strong effort must be undertaken to bring back the image of Bali as a safe and peaceful tourist haven before the tourism sector and its related services collapse, and Bali becomes a paradise lost.

A campaign involving travel agents, airlines, hotels etc. needs to be launched immediately, and continued for months until the tourism industry in Bali in particular and throughout Indonesia recovers.
