Bali Bomber’s execution affects Bali Tourism
After the execution of the three bombers last week, security has been increased in Bali by authorities. Travel warnings by US, UK and Australian governments have alerted tourists going to Bali to reconsider, and unnecessary trips to this paradise island or other parts of Indonesia to be avoided.
With many of the Australian schoolies paining to visit Indonesia, especially Bali, the Foreign minister Stephen Smith, says the Federal Government are concerned and have re-issued a advisory warning that travelers should reconsider their travels to Bali and Indonesia.
The Australian government has received credible evidence that due to the execution of the three bombers, this may follow with terrorist attacks which has been stated by the Indonesian government that this may occur sometime early November.
Travel agents, hotels and related services are urged to be flexible with their customers and guests when it comes to changes of bookings and reservations. Already several hotels are experiencing changing of travel schedules by guests booked into Bali hotels in November and December.
A general tip by many travelers is to avoid night clubs and bars or any area where there are a lot of travelers or expatriates in one place.

Balihotelfinder Site New Look and Feel
Balihotelfinder with the support of customers opinions and comments have recently uploaded it’s latest Bali Hotel template which includes numerous features which help travelers book not only their hotels but also their flights, tours and packages before and while in Bali.
Our Bali hotels, flights and cruises booking engine is maintained by World Choice Travel (WCT), a member of IATAN (International Airlines Travel Agent Network) and the ASTA (American Society of Travel Agents).
All of your Bali Hotel reservations are now web secure and you can book online conveniently without any hesitation.
One of the main reasons for this upgrade has been the request of our customers for real time information on availability and instant booking and confirmation.
As you know recently many of the Bali hotel, especially in Kuta, Legian and Nusa Dua have had over 100% booking, and to save a lot of communication going back and forwards, seeing what is available real time and being able to get instant confirmation to your hotel booking has been a great advantage.
We are happy to announce that we have now on our site information and booking ability for over 350 hotels, villas and resorts. We hope to enlist more hotels and our challenge is to have over 400 accessible accommodation establishments within the next 6 months.
Another handy feature to our site, has been the availability of multi-languages including Japanese, Spanish, Russian, German, French and Italian. We hope to add a few more to these within the next few months.
Other new features which we will discuss in future are:
-New Search Engine Options

-Nearby Bali Hotels
-Bali Hotel Comparisons
-Air & Hotel Packages

I look forward to explaining each of the new features and any new updates in the upcoming months.
