Congratulations are in order for Indonesia. In a survey of travel agents by German tour group Go Asia, Indonesia came in second among Asian destinations. This comes on top of news that tourist arrivals to Bali are on the rise, despite the troubling economic times. This serves as a good reminder that Bali remains a high value-for-money destination. Also, this is a good excuse for reminding readers that the best time to visit Bali is coming up, with the cool dry season just around the corner. It sounds like things are already filling up for August, so you best make plans soon if you want to find out why Bali is proving so popular.

For those of you that don’t read German, here’s a quick (and hopefully correct) summary of the awards:
