Denpasar (Antara Bali) - The number of tourists from Malaysia to Bali rose in the first six months of the year compared with the same period last year.
Malaysia has become the fourth largest in number of visitors to Bali from the fifth earlier, Head of Bali Central Statistic Agency (BPS) I Gede Suarsa said here on Friday.
"The number of visitors from Malaysia is larger than those from Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Britain," Suarsa said.
He said around 92,410 Malaysians visited Bali in the first half of the year, up 11.35 percent from the same period last year.
The number made up 6.19 percent of the total number of 1,493,020 foreign visitors to the world famous resort island in the January-June period this year - or an increase from 6.81 percent.
A significant increase was recorded in the number of visitors from 8 of 10 main countries of origin.
A decline was recorded only in the number of visitors from South Korea and Britain, Suarsa said. (*/DWA)
